Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Acceptability and feasibility of intervention•Feasibility (Can we do it?) •Could we randomise schools to receive delivery? •Did any parents opt-out of the assessments? How many? (we hope for less than 20% parental opt-out). •Did any parents opt-out of the sessions? How many? •Can the programme fit into the existing curriculum? •Could the whole programme be delivered at each school? •Could all 8 sessions be completed at each school? •Did all of the children attend all 8 session? •Did all of the children complete all of the measures at each time point? (we hope for 80% completion of measures at each time point; (% missing data for each measure). Acceptability assessed through exit interviews with learners.	—

Anxiety and Depression measure: Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale - 30 (RCADS) (Chorpita et al., 2005). Happiness and well-being measure: Seven item, study specific visual analogue scale (scale from 1-7) on happiness and well-being. Emotion regulation measure: The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ–CA)(Gullone & Taffe, 2012). Bullying: 2-item The Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire-Modified (Strohmeier et al., 2011). Self-esteem measure: Rosenberg self-esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Goal setting: Goal-Setting Scale (Webb & Baer, 1995). Stressful life events in the past 7 days: The revised child impact of events scale (CRIES) (at 1 month follow up only)(Perrin et al., 2005). This measure contains a screening question at the beginning to assess for eligibility for completing this measure. As such, not all children will necessarily be eligible to complete this measure in full.	—
