Subjective mental health was assessed within the EE using one single item at measurement point 1 and four items at Times 2 to 4. Participants were asked to answer those questions on a five-point-scale equivalent to German school grades. If participants were not able to apply the five-point scale, a simplified three-point-scale (2 - 4) was used. The suffixes to the variables indicate whether the simplified scale was used ( = 1) or not (= 2). Identical were also used in the Final Questionnaire.
