Different aspects of health behavior and participants' ways of
dealing with illness were assessed in the intake assessment (EE) and
in the intensive protocol (IP):
EE:
Screening: In the intake assessment (EE), participants were asked
whether they were in medical
treatment (2 questions) and about the use of medication
( 2 questions).
IP:
(a) Health behavior, in the sense of actively doing
something for one's health, was assessed only at measurement Time
1 in the "Gesundheit - Schlaf" (Health - Sleep) interview. Nine
examples were given by which participants could rate whether they do
anything to stay healthy. For each example, they could describe
two measures they had taken, e.g. to stay physically fit. The
answers were coded. (s.b.)
Sleep was assessed in the intensive protocol
(IP) within the health and sleep questionnaire, too.
Further aspects of health behavior assessed in the IP are:
(b) Illness beliefs, assessed
with the illness belief scale (Linden, Nather & Wilms, 1988; see
Literature);
(c) Frequency of contacts to a
doctor;
(d) Non-medical treatment and perception of illnesses assessed with
the semi-structured "Beschwerden -
Behandlung - Arzneimittel" (Complaints - Treatment - Medication)
interview (developed by the BASE psychiatry unit)
