Residents who are unable to participate in group settings due to mental illness (e.g. paranoid schizophrenia in the acute stage) are also excluded. Furthermore, infectious residents and residents suspected of having a possible Covid 19 infection cannot participate in the study until the infection has been ruled out or until negative swabs have been taken after infection.

DUERER II
Exclusion criteria are severe mental disorders or infectious diseases that do not allow participation in a group. This applies in particular to the presence of clinical symptoms with suspected Covid-19 disease according to study arm 1.
