Use of ecological momentary assessment in mood disorders research
Abstract
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) entails repeated, intensive sampling of respondents' current experiences while they are engaged in their typical daily routines, in their natural environments. In this article we discuss benefits of using EMA techniques in mood disorders research, provide an overview of the various specific EMA techniques that have been used with mood-disordered populations to date, and summarize the diverse range of research questions that EMA has been used to explore in this field. In addition, we evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using EMA techniques with this population and suggest additional areas that might be fruitful to investigate, with a focus on the extension of EMA techniques into treatment research. Overall, data suggest that using EMA techniques in mood disorders research is feasible, generally acceptable, and highly promising. We conclude with a discussion of caveats, limitations, and ethical considerations.

“Previous studies in patients with mood disorders have shown good overall feasibility and acceptability of high-frequency assessments, although there is likely to be an interaction between protocol burden and burden of illness [46].”
From Wearable technology for high-frequency cognitive and mood assessment in major depressive disorder: longitudinal observational study (2019) · cites this paper as [46]
In the citing paper
“Moreover, the adherence rates found in this study are even higher than in previous ones with a similar population, although these studies used different EMA methods (e.g., paper-and-pencil diaries, PDAs) [8,14,15].”
From Experienced burden of and adherence to smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment in persons with affective disorders (2020) · cites this paper as [8]
In the citing paper
“However, one limitation of these reviews is that they mostly focus on the methods of the selected studies and are therefore more relevant to researchers than to clinicians.”
From Mood Disorders in Everyday Life: A Systematic Review of Experience Sampling and Ecological Momentary Assessment Studies (2012) · cites this paper as Wenze & Miller (2010)
In the citing paper
“Like Wenze and Miller (2010), we only included studies in which participants met clinical criteria for MDD or BD, had a primary diagnosis of a mood disorder, and were assessed outside the laboratory more than once per day.”

In the citing paper
“More than half of the papers included in our review were published after the reviews by Ebner-Priemer and Trull (2009) and Wenze and Miller (2010).”
From Mood Disorders in Everyday Life: A Systematic Review of Experience Sampling and Ecological Momentary Assessment Studies (2012) · cites this paper as Wenze and Miller (2010)
In the citing paper
“patients in signal-contingent data recording studies may underreport symptoms if they miss signals during periods when they are more symptomatic.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
