Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Behavioral activation	In a scale from 0 (not at all) to 6 (completely), "to what extent were you satisfied with what you did today?"	Change through study completion, an average of 31 days. The outcome will be evaluated daily (at 9pm) during 31 days. Changes will be investigated from baseline to posttreatment using all corresponding time points (baseline vs posttreatment)
Secondary	Change in Mood	In a scale from 0 (completely sad) to 100 (completely happy), "how did you feel today?"	Change through study completion, an average of 31 days. The outcome will be evaluated daily (at 9pm) during 31 days. Changes will be investigated from baseline to posttreatment using all corresponding time points (baseline to posttreatment)
Secondary	Change in Depression	In a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (completely), "how was your level of depression today?"	Change through study completion, an average of 31 days.. The outcome will be evaluated daily (at 9pm) during 31 days. Changes will be investigated from baseline to posttreatment using all corresponding time points (baseline to posttreatment)
Secondary	Change in Positive affect	In a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (completely), "how was your positive affect today?"	Change through study completion, an average of 31 days.. The outcome will be evaluated daily (at 9pm) during 31 days. Changes will be investigated from baseline to posttreatment using all corresponding time points (baseline to posttreatment)
Secondary	Change in Negative affect	In a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (completely), "how was your negative affect today?"	Change through study completion, an average of 31 days.. The outcome will be evaluated daily (at 9pm) during 31 days. Changes will be investigated from baseline to posttreatment using all corresponding time points (baseline to posttreatment)
Secondary	Change in Activity level	In a scale from 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum), "what was your activity level today?"	Change through study completion, an average of 31 days..
