Consumption of medication was assessed in the intake assessment (EE) using two single screening questions at measurement point 1 and one single question at measurement points 2 to 4.
In the intensive protocol (IP) medication was assessed with the "Beschwerden - Behandlung - Arzneimittel" (Complaints - Treatment - Medication) questionnaire and in the physician interview (see physician interview).
In the questionnaire "Beschwerden - Behandlung - Arzneimittel", which was developed by the BASE psychiatry unit, participants were asked to list (1) subjective health complaints they had had during the past two weeks (see complaints), (2) physicians or other persons they had consulted for (medical) treatment during the past three months (see health behavior), and (3) medication they had used during the past two weeks. A number of standardized questions were asked about each medication. Answers in text form were coded. After that, participants were asked whether they had ever taken certain medication for at least three months.
