Mean scores for the outcome measures and predicted lines plotted across time. Note. (a) depressive symptom severity (IDS-SR total score), (b) disturbances in interpersonal relations (OQ-45 IR scale), (c) disturbances in social role functioning (OQ-45 SR scale), (d) empowerment (NEL total score without the professional help scale). Post-EMA = assessment after the 28-day intervention period. FU = follow-up assessment 1, 2, 3, and 6 months following the post-EMA assessment. Note that the time between the baseline and post-EMA measurement spanned approximately 5–6 weeks rather than 1 month (i.e. post-EMA measurements were typically planned in the week after the 28-day intervention period).
