Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change from baseline children´s psychiatric symptomatology at 12 months
Children´s psychiatric symptomatology will be assessed in all groups (intervention groups and control group) by an external independent interview (Kiddie-SADS; Kaufman et al., 1996). The Kiddie-SADS interview will be conducted by a trained rater external to the project.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Change from baseline children´s depressive symptomatology at 12 months
Children´s depressive symptomatology will be assessed by children´s (aged 10 years and older) and parents´ rating of the German version of the "Children´s depression inventory" (Depressionsinventar für Kinder und Jugendliche (DIKJ); Stiensmeier-Pelster, Schürmann, & Duda, 2000).
The German version of the "Children´s depression inventory" consists of 26 Items. Each item has 3 response options, which range from 0 = "symptom not present" to 2 = "symptom is very much present". The items are summed up to a total score (0-52), with higher values representing a higher number and more severe depressive symptoms.

Children´s global impairment will be assessed by a trained rater external to the project using the german "Skala zur Gesamtbeurteilung von Kindern und Jugendlichen" (SGKJ; Steinhausen, 1985).
The SGKJ is a 10 point scale which describes a hypothetic continuum from 10 = mental health ("Outstanding functioning in all areas - e.g. at home, in school, with peers") to 1 = mental disorder ("Needs steady supervision because of severe aggressive or self-destructive behavior, impaired reality testing, communication, cognition, affect or hygiene").

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The current study will evaluate and compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy. Therefore 420 children and adolescents (ages 8-16 years) with depression and/or anxiety disorder will be randomly assigned to a treatment or a control condition. The intervention´s short-term effectiveness and sustainability as well as cost-effectiveness will be examined over a 5 year period for each participant.
Detailed Description
This study aims to optimize patient-centered care and to ensure scientific and legal approval of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy for children and adolescents in the German health-care system. This prospective, randomized and controlled trial will therefore compare psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy with a low-frequency family intervention (control intervention) for children and adolescents with depression and anxiety disorder. Number of diagnoses or fulfilled diagnostic criteria - diagnosed by a trained psychologist who is blind for treatment condition - will be the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes are patients´ and parents´ strain caused by symptoms, patients´ quality of life, global and family functioning and treatments´ cost effectiveness are secondary outcomes.
Patients will be recruited at the end of an inpatient hospital stay in northern Germany (Hamburg and Bremen) in two clinics for child and adolescent psychiatry and in surgery. After gathering informed consent from parents and patients, the latter will be randomly assigned to one type of outpatient treatment (psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy or family intervention). Psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy as well as the control intervention will be provided manual-based. Treatment sessions will be audio recorded to control adherence.
Data will be collected annually over a period of five years starting at the beginning of treatment. This allows examination of varying treatment intervals as well as the sustainability and health economics of therapy effects.
To analyze data, comparisons of means will be performed. Groupwise analyses of interaction will be performed for inferential testing of differences in subgroups. Differences in therapy effects will be inferentially analyzed by multifactor analysis of covariance, analysis of variance or logistic regression. Interaction effects and predicting variables are of special interest.
In a Subsample of 32 depressive adolescents (ages 13-16) patients expectations before and experiences whilst therapy will be analyzed by a mixed-methods-approach.

Title
Change from baseline children´s depressive symptomatology at 12 months
Description

The German version of the "Children´s depression inventory" consists of 26 Items. Each item has 3 response options, which range from 0 = "symptom not present" to 2 = "symptom is very much present". The items are summed up to a total score (0-52), with higher values representing a higher number and more severe depressive symptoms.

Children´s psychiatric disorders will be assessed by parents´ rating of the German version of the "Child behavior checklist" (CBCL; Achenbach, 1991).
The German version of the CBCL consists of 118 items. Each item has 3 response options, which range from 0 = "not true or seldom true" to 2 = "true or often true". The 8 syndrome scales to be calculated by summing are "social withdrawal" with scores ranging from 0 - 18, "physical discomfort" with scores ranging from 0 - 18, "anxiety/depression" with scores ranging from 0 - 28, "social difficulties" with scores ranging from 0 - 16, "schizoid/compulsive" scores ranging from 0 - 14, "attention deficits" with scores ranging from 0 - 22, "dissocial behavior" with scores ranging from 0 - 26, "aggressive behavior" with scores ranging from 0 - 40 and "other difficulties" with scores ranging from 0 - 66. A total score can be calculated by summing with scores ranging from 0 - 236. For all scales higher values indicate a higher problem level.
