Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcome: The number and the severity of incidents in the Forensic Psychiatric Centers, Forensic Psychiatric Clinics and Forensic Psychiatric Departments. Aggression incidents will be recorded on a weekly basis with the social dysfunction and aggression scale (SDAS) for patients participating in the current research to document the aggressive state of patients. The SDAS measures a broad range of aggressive behavior, including very mild forms of aggression. Primary outcome variables are number and the severity of aggressive incidents in which subjects are victim and/or perpetrator of aggression by patients.	—

This is measured by means of self-report questionnaires and physiological data on different moments before, during and after treatment. The self-report questionnaires are the: AVL, BDHI-D, STAXI-2, BIS-11 and NAS-PI. The physiological data include heart rate variation measured by electrocardiogram (ECG), muscle tension by electromyography (EMG) and skin conductance by galvanic skin response (GSR).	—
