Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study has two goals: 1. Investigating reintegration processes and developing predictive models for symptom severity and relapses 2. Assessing the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the aftercare service For this purpose, EMA data are collected via an app daily during the first two weeks, and then weekly for up to three months after discharge (25 measurement points). Treatment data are collected at four time points: at admission (t0), at discharge (t1), at the aftercare appointment (t2), and at 6-month follow-up (t3). Primary outcomes for the evaluation: - Participation and usage rates, as well as participants' satisfaction (questionnaires based on SUS, System Usability Scale, Brooke, 1996; FBB, Questionnaire for the Assessment of Treatment, Mattejat & Remschmidt, 1999; PPEET, Public and Patient Engagement Evaluation Tool, Abelson & PPEET Research-Practice Collaborative, 2015; assessed via EMA 2 weeks after discharge and at t2) - Therapists’ clinical impression (CGI-S and CGI-I, Clinical Global Impression – Severity and Improvement scale, Guy, 2000; CGAS, Global Assessment of Psychosocial Functioning (Axis VI) of the Multiaxial Classification Scheme for Mental Disorders of Childhood and Adolescence, Remschmidt et al., 1994; assessed at t0, t1, and t2) - Number of readmissions, outpatient emergency presentations, and emergency phone contacts (assessed at t2 and t3)
