EMERGE

The central aim of this epidemiological study is to map the temporal patterns and dynamic interactions between subclinical symptoms and the influence of transdiagnostic mechanisms on these trajectories. This leads to a more detailed understanding of emerging psychopathology. The study is conducted as part of an Eccellenza project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

BePart Studie

The BePart study inquires the desires, wishes and needs of adolescents concerning an online intervention program through qualitative interviews. What content, design aspects or guidance matters to them and why? The answers are transcripted and analyzed.
