Treatment Groups
Study Objectives

2 intervention groups are designated in this study

This study does not include a placebo group 

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental
Participants of this intervention group get follow up support via Internet. They have access to new inputs biweekly consisting of Thematic inputs and instructions (e.g. advice on shopping, cooking, regular exercise on daily routine, motivation and more) assignments promoting self-awareness and introspection spreadsheets promoting self-monitoring News and updates (e.g. recipes, gymnastic classes, meetings of self support groups and more) will be available each month. Tailored feedback of their behaviour will be given by documentation on spreadsheets.

Group II

Experimental
Participants of this intervention group get follow up support via a printed manual. The manual consist of all the same inputs as are available to the Internet follow up group. Thematic inputs and instructions (e.g. advice on shopping, cooking, regular exercise on daily routine, motivation and more) assignments promoting self-awareness and introspection spreadsheets promoting self-monitoring All inputs will be given at once at the beginning of the follow up intervention, only news and updates (e.g. recipes, gymnastic classes, meetings of self support groups and more) will be sent per mail each month. There is no tailored feedback of their behaviour as the paper-pencil documentation on spreadsheets can't be monitored by the psychologists.
