Participants in the TAU group received detailed information about the available regular care services in the community (i.e., primary and secondary mental health services delivered by the student counseling services/general practitioners/psychologists/psychiatrists). This is in line with existing routine care practices in the Dutch universities, where students with mental health problems are advised to seek help through community services. In contrast, university counseling services are meant to manage study-related issues (e.g., exam anxiety). Thus, the present control reflected existing routine care practices in the universities where the study was conducted. It should be noted that info about the available services was also provided to participants in the intervention group. However, students in the TAU group were strongly advised to seek support, but they were free to decide whether they would follow this advice or not. We recorded the use of such services in both the intervention and control group throughout the trial assessments.This trial was funded by ZonMw, Research Program GGz, grant number 636110005. We thank all student representatives as well as the university stakeholders of the Vrije Universiteit (VU) of Amsterdam and the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) for their great help during the development of our study. Moreover, we thank the e-coaches and research assistants who worked hard throughout this trial. This trial was funded by ZonMw , Research Program GGz, grant number 636110005 .
