| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The PHQ-9 is a 10-item self-report instrument assessing depressive symptoms over the past 2 weeks. The internal reliability is excellent (Cronbach*s alpha 0.89), as is the test-retest reliability. In adolescents the PHQ-9 has a high sensitivity (89,5%) and good specificity (78,8%) for detecting major depression (Richardson et al., 2010). In this study we use the PHQ-9 weekly in line with previous research that has shown that the PHQ-9 can be used as a reliable indicator for weekly mood changes as well(Aguilera, Schueller & Leykin, 2015). It can be administered in a few minutes (Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001). | — |

| - Before including the participant in the study the M.I.N.I. KID will be administered to classify the existence of a depressive disorder. The M.I.N.I. KID is a diagnostic interview that assesses current psychological disorders, based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. The sensitivity and specificity are good to excellent (Sheehan et al., 2010). This semi-structured interview take 60 minutes to complete in total and a maximum of 15 minutes for the section depression. - General functioning will be measured by the SDQ (Goodman, 1997; Dutch version: van Widenfelt, Goedhart, Treffers, Goodman, 2003): a brief behavioral screening questionnaire. The SDQ consists of 25 items on psychological attributes which are divided between 5 scales: emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, peer relationship problems and prosocial behavior. The internal consistency for the various SDQ scales were generally satisfactory (mean alpha was 0.70 for the parent version and 0.64 for the self-report version). Furthermore, substantial correlations were found between SDQ total difficulties scores and CBCL total scores (r = 0.70; Muris, Meesters, & van den Berg, 2003). Completing the questionnaire takes a maximum of 20 minutes. - The severity of general anxiety will be measured by the SCARED (Birmaher et al. 1997; Dutch version: Wijsbroek, Hale, Raaijmakers & Muris; 2005): a self-report instrument consisting of 69 items The items measures the symptoms of the most important anxiety disorders. The internal consistency is 0.93 (Birmaher et al., 1997).Completion of the questionnaire takes a maximum of 20 minutes. | — |
