Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary parameters of interest are the YSQ and SMI, in order to validate these instruments. The YSQ and SMI are self-report questionnaires. Within a subgroup of 60 patients, the YSQ and SMI will be re-administered within one week to examine the test-retest reliability. For the second question, schema activation (YSQ scores) among nursing home residents will be examined by comparing cases and controls, stratified for the presence of a psychiatric disorder using multivariate analysis of variance adjusted for potential confounders/group differences.	—
