Predicting Completion of Ecological Momentary Assessments Among Substance-Using Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence.

ABSTRACT: Noncompletion of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys is a common issue and may yield bias in results if not properly handled.

The average rate of EMA completion was initially 51.4% at the scheduled times and increased to 72.6% after incorporating data from later-retrieved surveys. Participants who were younger, had more children, or had lower mean levels of negative affect dysregulation showed lower
