Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcomes are a disorder-specific symptom measure scale. For each specific disorder, we measure one or two pertinent symptom scales as primary measures: Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI) for Depressive Disorders, Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS-SR) for Panic disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7) and Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, short version (OCI-R) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Social Phobia Inventory, Finnish version (SPIN-FIN) for Social Anxiety Disorder and Sleep Disorders, and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), the Eating Disorder Examination-Self-Report Questionnaire Version (EDE-Q) for Bulimia Nervosa. The scales are applied at baseline, mid-treatment and endpoint with the exception of GAD-7 which is applied as each session. All measures are filled in by patients online.	—
