Reaction to the program was assessed by reports of case completion, assessment of the learning objectives and educational value of the case, and evaluation of the case structure and features.
All six ED-related instruments were identical to self-completion assessments in TwinsUK.
Over the years, information has been gathered from a number of sources (e.g.: parents, schools, doctors, medical records, cohort members) and in a variety of ways (e.g.: interview, self-completion, assessments, medical records).
There was no compensation for treatment participation or completion of assessments by patients who completed treatment; patients who dropped out from treatment received 15 euro (about 20 US dollar) if they completed posttreatment assessment.
In order to promote completion when assessments are missing, participants will be automatically reminded twice to complete the assessments.
Participants are paid $30 for completion of assessments at each time point.
We provide a welcoming environment with seamless completion of assessments without unnecessary hassle.
Completion of assessments required 93 minutes on average (range: 45 160 minutes).
On completion of assessments the participant is randomised to either the PoMeT + TAU or the TAU group.
Youth-friendly methods have been used such as internet and mobile phones to facilitate completion of assessments.
