Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presence of the diagnosis of depression will be measured by the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, present and lifetime version (K-SADS-PL) (Kaufman et al., 1997; Reichart, Wals, & Hillegers, 2000). This widely used semi-structured diagnostic interview assesses a wide range of diagnoses (present and life time) including their severity. The view of the adolescent, the parent and the independent clinician are taken into account. | — |

| Adolescents · The degree of depressive symptoms is measured with a self-report measure, the Child Depression Inventory-2 (CDI-2) (Bodden, Stikkelbroek, & Braet, 2016; Kovacs, 2017). The CDI-2 is a revision of the CDI (Kovacs, 1992; Timbremont & Braet, 2002) and was translated in Dutch. · The severity of the depression is rated by an independent clinician using the K-SADS-PL (Kaufman, Birmaher, Brent, Rao, & Ryan, 1996). · Suicide risk is assessed with the K-SADS-PL and a newly developed self-report questionnaire Suicide risk taxation (SRT), which focuses on frequency of suicidal thoughts, wishes, plans and actions over the past two weeks. · Comorbidity and psychopathology is assessed with the K-SADS-PL, and with the Youth Self Report scale (YSR) for adolescents (Achenbach, 1991; Verhulst, Ende, & Van der Koot, 1996). · For this study, we also constructed the Life Event Scale (LES) (Bodden & Stikkelbroek, 2010a), which is a self-report measure about life events (including drug abuse, bereavement, maltreatment and suicide attempts), their date of occurrence and their impact on the adolescents well-being. · The degree of conflicts (quarrels, irritations and antagonism in the child* parent relationship) was measured with 6-item Network of relationship inventory (NRI) (Furman & Buhrmester, 1985). · The Dutch version of the EuroQol Questionaire (EQ-5D adolescent version) (The EuroQol Group, 1990) is used to establish quality of life as expressed in quality adjusted life years (QALYs). · The Cognitive Negative Cognitive Error Questionnaire (CNCEQ) (Maric, Heyne, Van Widenfelt, & Westenberg, 2011) measures cognitive errors namely the underestimation of the ability to cope, personalizing without mind reading, selective abstraction, over generalizing and mind reading. · The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) (Garnefski, Kraaij, & Spinhoven, 2001) measures a broad set of cognitive emotion regulation strategies which are used in respo | — |
