Secondary

School functioning: grade point averages per semester; number of credits completed per semester; number of courses completed, withdrawn and failed per semester; the Educational Barrier Questionnaire, the Educational Support Questionnaire, the self-efficacy in school questionnaire and the school satisfaction questionnaire. Recovery: Recovery Assessment Scale The SCL-10 is used to describe and defend the population in the study, and to verify that Supported Education does not have a negative impact on psychiatric symptoms and level of distress.
