Data collection and outcomes
The same data were collected at the same time points in the intervention group and control group [In addition, we obtained several potentially mediating factors such as the uptake of available support strategies (e.g., stepwise reintegration into work or specific services for people with disabilities). Furthermore, we documented the patients’ subjective readiness to return to their workplace and their feeling of being supported in this process by using self-rated visual analog scales. Finally, clinical data on illness severity (Clinical Global Impression, CGI, HONOS), social functioning (GAF), quality of life (EuroHisQol), and relapses (patient self-report) are reported.
