Feasibility and adherence to ecological momentary assessment among community-dwelling adults with suicide risk
This study indicated that EMA using smartphones and actigraphic devices were feasible to monitor suicidal ideation and impulse for a month in community-dwelling adults; thus, it could be a complementary tool to assess daily suicide risk. However, there are still challenges to be overcome when EMA-based monitoring in the community is used for those with mental vulnerability. Thus, mental health professionals should carefully tailor the pros and cons of EMA based on our findings to enhance this vulnerable group's participation and adherence to EMA for suicide prevention.
