Primary outcomes

  1. Conor-Davidson Resilience Scale

    Time frame: end of 6 months

    The Conor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10-item (Conor & Davidson, 2003, 2007) or CD-RISC10 is scale measuring the resilience of an individual. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (not true at all) to 4 (True nearly all the time) with scoring from 0 to 40. The higher an individual scores, the greater their resilience. The lower an individual scores, the lower the individual's resilience.

Secondary outcomes

  1. CDI2 or Children's Depression Inventory, Second Edition

    Time frame: end of 6 months

    The CDI2 is a self reported scale coming in two versions, CDI2 (28 items) and CDI2S (12 items). For this study, the CDI2S was chosen. Each item is rated on a 3-point scale from 0 to 2 with scoring from 0 to 24. 0 indicates no symptom, 1 indicates mild symptom, and 2 indicates definite symptom per item. The higher the total score, the stronger the indication for depression. Individuals who score from 0-12 indicate minimal to no depressive symptoms, individuals who score from 13-19 indicate mild depressive symptoms, and individuals who score 20 and above indicate moderate to severe depressive symptoms
