Selecting an Ecological Momentary Assessment Platform: Tutorial for Researchers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although ecological momentary assessment (EMA) has been applied in psychological research for decades, delivery methods have evolved with the proliferation of digital technology. Technological advances have engendered opportunities for enhanced accessibility, convenience, measurement precision, and integration with wearable sensors. Notwithstanding, researchers must navigate novel complexities in EMA research design and implementation.

Objective

In this paper, we aimed to provide guidance on platform selection for clinical scientists launching EMA studies.

Methods

Our team includes diverse specialties in child and adolescent behavioral and mental health with varying expertise on EMA platforms (eg, users and developers). We (2 research sites) evaluated EMA p
