- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcome measure is the feasibility of this intervention. This will<br /><br>be determined by, for example, how many adolescents show interest in the course<br /><br>and eventually sign up for it. The reasons for drop-out, and predictors for<br /><br>finishing the course will be registered. The level of client satisfaction about<br /><br>the course and the coaching will also give an indication of the feasibility and<br /><br>acceptability of the prevention program. Another primary outcome measure will<br /><br>be the effect of the prevention program, measured by the change in social<br /><br>anxiety symptoms on the SAS-A. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Secondary outcomes include: depressive symptoms (CES-D), general anxiety<br /><br>symptoms (HADS-A), quality of life (Euroqol) and working alliance (WAI) and<br /><br>client satisfaction.</p><br>
