Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measure to determine effectiveness of the intervention will be change in depression symptom severity as measured by the self-report Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-SR, Rush et al., 1999) across 6 time points: pre-ESM, after 4 weeks of ESM and at 4 follow-ups at 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks (post-ESM). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| From a patient perspective, functional outcomes are at least as relevant as clinical outcomes. Therefore, we will also assess change in psychosocial functioning by means of the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45, Lambert et al., 1996). Moreover, we will assess the extent to which individuals regain self-esteem and take control over their own lives by means of the Dutch Empowerment questionnaire (NEL; Boevink, Kroon, & Giesen, 2010). This questionnaire has been developed by the Trimbos institute in collaboration with individuals with psychiatric problems. Other outcome measures: Questionnaires regarding cost-effectiveness: PRODISQ, TiC-P, en Euroqol-5D Baseline characteristics: demographics, LEIDS-R (Cognitive Reactivity), TAS-20 (Alexithymia) | — |
