Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome will be depressive symptoms as measured by the Dutch version of the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) at T2 and T3.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcomes include anxiety, behavioural problems and responsiveness of group care workers. Anxiety will be measured using the Dutch translation of the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS; Spence, 1997) for both parents and adolescents. Behavioural problems will be assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ; Goodman 1997) for both parents and adolescents. Responsiveness of group care workers will be assessed using the subscale ‘responsiveness’ of the Dutch translation of the Prison Group Climate Inventory (Van der Helm, Stams, & Van der Laan, 2011). Possible mediators include negative cognitive styles and coping styles. Negative cognitive styles will be measured with the Children’s Negative Cognitive Errors Questionnaire – Revised (CNCEQ-R; Maric, Heyne, van Widenfelt & Westenberg, 2011). Response style and coping will be measured with the Children’s Response Style Questionnaire (CRSQ).	—
