1. Self-reported anxiety:
Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED, Birmaher et al., 1999);<br>
2. Self-reported depression:

Achtergrond van het onderzoek
In this study, we test an online prevention program designed to increase emotional resilience and reduce and prevent anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents. Participants (600) are recruited on high schools and randomly assigned to one of 5 training conditions (4 active, 1 placebo-control). Training focuses on attention and interpretation biases and cognitive control. Anxiety and depression symptoms and secondary outcome measures are assessed at pre- and post-training and 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up.
