- determine (intervention) costs arising in psychotherapy in comparison with active monitoring, antidepressant treatment, treatment with other non-drug interventions (e.g. relaxation exercises), or no treatment (e.g. waiting list) in children and adolescents with depression,
- assess the cost effectiveness of psychotherapy in comparison with active monitoring, antidepressant treatment, treatment with other non-drug interventions (e.g. relaxation exercises), or no treatment (e.g. waiting list) in children and adolescents with depression as well as

IQWiG coordinated the project, conducted the literature search for the domains “Benefit assessment“ and “Health economic evaluation”, and prepared “HTA kompakt” the easily understandable short version.
According to §139b (3) No. 2 of Social Code Book (SGB) V, Statutory Health Insurance, external experts who are involved in the Institute’s research commissions must disclose “all connections to interest groups and contract organizations, particularly in the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries, including details on the type and amount of any remuneration received”. The Institute received the completed Form for disclosure of potential conflicts of interest from each external expert. The information provided was reviewed by a Committee of the Institute specifically established to assess conflicts of interests. The information on conflicts of interest provided by the external experts and external reviewers is presented in Chapter A12 of the full report. No conflicts of interest were detected that could endanger professional independence with regard to the work on the present commission.
