Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) [Up to 8 weeks post-intervention]
Depression questionnaire. Scores range from 0 to 27. Lower scores indicate less depression.
- Change in Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener-7 (GAD-7) [Up to 8 weeks post-intervention]
Anxiety questionnaire. Total scores range from 0-21. Lower scores indicate less anxiety.
- Change in the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS) [Up to 8 weeks post-intervention]
Well-being questionnaire. Total scores range from 7 to 35. Higher values indicate higher well-being scores.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ratings on the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) [Immediately after the intervention]
Questionnaire measuring the acceptability of an intervention. Acceptability refers to the perception that a given treatment is agreeable or satisfactory. The total score ranges from 4 to 20. Higher scores indicate higher acceptability ratings.
- Ratings on the Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) [Immediately after the intervention]
Questionnaire measuring the appropriateness of an intervention. Appropriateness refers to the perceived fit or relevance of an intervention. The total score ranges from 4 to 20. Higher scores indicate higher appropriateness.
- Mechanisms of Change [Up to 8 weeks post-intervention]
Participants answered questions relating to each module's mechanism of change on a 7-point Likert Scale, from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". Specifically, we asked participants: How capable they feel about managing negative thoughts; If they will intentionally spend time doing activities they enjoy; If they will notice and appreciate good things; If they will
- Secondary Control [Up to 8 weeks post-intervention]
We asked participants three items to assess secondary control (Weisz et al., 2010). The items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 ("Very false") to 3 ("Very true"). The three items are: When something bad happens, I can find a way to think about it that makes me feel better. After a really hard day, I can make myself feel better by remembering some good things that happened. When bad things happen to me that I can't control, there are lots of things I can do to feel better. Higher scores indicate greater secondary control.
- Positive and Negative Affect Schedule [Up to 8 weeks post-intervention]
Questionnaire measuring positive affect and negative affect. Scores on the positive affect subscale range from 10-50, with higher scores representing higher levels of positive affect. Scores on the negative affect subscale range from 10-50, with lower scores representing lower levels of negative affect.
- Perceived Stress Scale-4 [Up to 8 weeks post-intervention]
Questionnaire measuring perceived stress. Scores range from 0-16, with higher scores indicating greater stress.
