Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main parameters are the amount and severity of the problems in social functioning, thought problems and co-morbid problems, and the measures of the underlying processes: 1. visual perception; fixation pattern and fixation duration, 2. autonomic reactivity; heart rate and skin conductance, and 3. dermatoglyphic traits; hand scans which will be assessed in patients, their parents/caregivers and in controls. For the thrid goal self-esteem, worries about the future and experiences during puberty will be used as outcome variables.	—
