Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the total number of violent crime occurrences during the three years follow up, as measured with the Integrale Veiligheidsmonitor (IVM).The IVM is developed by the Dutch Central Agency for Statistics, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and the Ministry of Justice. Approximately 65,000 people in the general population are screened yearly with the IVMS to determine national victimization rates. The IVM is a self-report instrument, which is more reliable in measuring victimization than a police report (Hiday, 1999). Other primary outcome measures are depression symptoms (as measured with the IDS-SR) and emotion regulation (as measured with the Difficulties of Emotion Regulation Scale; DERS). | — |
