Feasibility and validity of ecological momentary assessment in the investigation of suicide risk
Abstract
Ecological Momentary Assessment has been used to investigate a wide range of behaviors and psychiatric conditions. Previous investigations have consistently obtained promising results with high acceptance and compliance rates, and with only minor reactive effects for specific variables. Despite the promise of this methodology for the study of severe psychiatric populations, little is known about its feasibility in samples at risk for suicide. In the present study, four samples at varying risk for suicide completed an Ecological Momentary Assessment study by responding to five electronic assessments per day over a one-week period. Samples included healthy controls (n=13), affective controls (n=21), past suicide attempters (n=20), and recent suicide attempters (n=42). The results demonstrate satisfactory participation rates and high compliance with daily life repeated assessments across all groups. Importantly, negative thoughts or suicidal ideation were not reactive to the duration of the study, indicating that the repeated assessment of such cognitions in daily life have little or no effect on their frequency. The findings provide support for the use of Ecological Momentary Assessment in the study of suicidal ideation and suggest that mobile technologies represent new opportunities for the assessment of high-risk cognitive states experienced by patients in daily life.

“Fixed schedules were almost exclusively used in studies with once-daily prompts (as well as three older studies with PDAs (45, 81, 82)), whereas pseudo-random schedules were typically used for repeated within-day assessments.”

“Studies frequently (57%, n = 13; (47, 51, 58, 60, 61, 69, 71, 79–81, 85, 86)) reported that participants could provide input about their daily schedules (incl. sleep and wake times), allowing EMA prompt windows to be adjusted for each participant”

“Comparing three subgroups, acceptance was highest among outpatients with a recent history of a suicide attempt (88%), as compared to clinical controls (i.e., 68% outpatients without a history of suicide attempts), and healthy controls [77%; (81)].”

“However, this effect was not replicated by all: rather than declining in a linear manner, one study reported that compliance rates did not decrease over time (66), fluctuated before stabilizing after ~2 weeks (83), or that compliance increased over time during a 1-week EMA study (81).”

“However, there was a decrease in positive affect among recent and past suicide attempters, and a decrease in hopelessness among recent suicide attempters with increasing study duration (across seven days) (81).”

“A feasibility study in adult suicide attempters (recent or past attempt history), clinical controls (i.e., depressed patients without suicide attempt history), and healthy controls, found no effects of study duration on the intensity of negative affect or frequency of suicidal ideation, indicating no symptom worsening with repeated prompts (81).”

“Our review did not uncover systematic (negative) mood reactivity to EMA, and importantly, there was no evidence of reactivity on STBs specifically (81, 82).”

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.
