Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the difference in change in the severity of MBS within 20 weeks after enrolment. It is assumed that the group using the App shows bigger decreases in MBS compared to the TAU group. In case an individual shows more than one MBS, severity will be operationalized with the most severe kind of MBS (Gaming, Social Media or Streaming). This is assessed using the following questionnaires: Gaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents/Parents (GADIS-A/-P), Social Media Use Disorder Scale for Adolescents/Parents (SOMEDIS-A/-P) and Streaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents/Parents (STREDIS-A/-P). The data is collected at 5-week intervals at 5 measurement points: Baseline, mid-training (+5 weeks), end of training (+10 weeks), catamnesis 1 (+15 weeks) and catamnesis 2 (+20 weeks). Due to the high-risk sample, the measurement times were set more closely in comparison to the main study. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcomes are measured at baseline and at the end of training (+10 weeks). All secondary endpoints refer to a greater difference in the change in the particular variable compared to the TAU group. The following variables will be collected via questionnaires: For adolescents and parents: - Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ): decreasing psychopathological symptoms of the adolescent, - Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10): decreasing perceived stress, - Family APGAR (Adaptability, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve): increasing family functionality, - Family Communication Scale (FCS): increasing family communication, - Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS-5): increasing mindfulness For adolescents only: - Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI): increasing sleep quality, - Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents (ESS-CHAD): decreasing sleepiness, - Insomnia Severity Index (ISI): decreasing severity of insomnia, - Questionnaire for the Assessment of Readiness for Change (FEVER): more adolescents are in the action phase than in the phases of precontemplation or contemplation For parents only: - Family Self-Efficacy (FSW): increasing family self-efficacy, - Ulm Quality of Life Inventory for Parents (ULQIE): increasing quality of life Furthermore, an electroencephalography (EEG) is carried out on adolescents: lower theta-beta ratio in the resting measurement pre- and post-media use and reduction of P3 and N2 in a visual-active oddball | — |
