Impact of Providing a Personalized Data Dashboard on Ecological Momentary Assessment Compliance Among College Students Who Use Substances: Pilot Microrandomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The landscape of substance use behavior among young adults has observed rapid changes over time. Intensive longitudinal designs are ideal for examining and intervening in substance use behavior in real time but rely on high participant compliance in the study protocol, representing a significant challenge for researchers.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of including a personalized data dashboard (DD) in a text-based survey prompt on study compliance outcomes among college students participating in a 21-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study.

Methods
