Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome measures are anxiety and depressive symptoms immediately after playing the app (T2) and coping. Anxiety is measured with the anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and depressive symptoms with the Children Depression Inventory (CDI). Coping is measured daily by ESM with questions based on the FEEL-KJ, ERQ, CERQ and UCL. Thereby, participants will be categorized into three different mood profiles (happy, typically developing, and at risk for depression) based on ESM, to help disentangling at risk adolescents from typically developing teens regarding risk of depression.	—
