To assess the efficacy of the application, participants are asked to answer two weeks prior to their vacation= t1, last working day=t2, middle of vacation=t3, end of first working day=t4, two weeks’ post vacation=t5 online questionnaires. Participants from Arm 1. receive an additional questionnaire four weeks’ post vacation=t6*. The primary comparison between study conditions will be conducted two weeks´ post vacation (t5).
