Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mean change in subjective well-being from baseline to 6-week follow-up on the Personal Well-Being Index - Intellectual Disability Version	The Personal Well-Being Index (PWI) is an 8-item measure of subjective well-being. The Intellectual Disability Version uses more concrete item wording and a 5-point visual scale. Ratings are summed and range from 8 to 40. Higher scores reflect better perceived well-being. An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium and 0.8 is large.	Baseline to 6 Weeks
Primary	Mean change in autonomy ratings from baseline to 6-week follow-up on the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale - Autonomy sub-scale	The Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSF) is a 24-item scale assessing both satisfaction and frustration relating to the three basic psychological needs identified in self-determination theory: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Items are rated on a 5-point scale from 1 "not at all true" to 5 "completely true." Each sub-scale has 8 items, with summed scores ranging from 8 to 40. Higher scores reflect higher satisfaction or need being met to a higher degree. The Autonomy sub-scale measures how much a person feels they have choice in what they do in their everyday life. An effect size of 0.2 is small, 0.5 is medium and 0.8 is large.	Baseline to 6 Weeks
