Outcome measures

onset of AH, (ii) the associations of AH with other psychic experiences,
anxiety and depressive symptoms, risk factors, protective factors and social
functioning, and (iii) psychopathology and health care consumption.
Secondary outcome

Background summary
This research project is the third, 17-year, follow-up assessment of a
population-based survey of auditory hallucinations (AH) in 7- and 8-year-old
children.
Study objective
Aim of this assessment is to explore the course (persistence, remission and
onset) of AH and to investigate associations with other psychic experiences,
anxiety and depressive symptoms, risk factors (trauma, cannabis), protective
factors (coping strategies, resilience, optimism, self-esteem) and social
functioning. In addition, associations with (onset of) psychopathology and
health care consumption will be explored.
Study design
The assessment will consist of a web-based assessment (self-report
questionnaires).
Study burden and risks
One very small risk might be the nature of some questions, i.e. those about
trauma. However, where in patients with a psychotic disorder this might be
recognized as a minor risk factor for eliciting a psychotic episode, there is
no evidence that such is happening often. In practice, patients are mostly
relieved to talk about traumatic experiences as a possible explanation for
their psychotic disorder (or AH), rather than that the questions will induce a
psychosis. Therefore, we assume that this risk in a general population sample
is negligible.
