Understanding Longitudinal Ecological Momentary Assessment Completion: Results From 12 Months of Burst Sampling in the TIME Study
Findings highlight the dynamic nature of EMA engagement in longitudinal multiburst studies and underscore the importance of considering time-varying and time-invariant factors in study design and analysis. This study provides valuable insights for researchers designing intensive longitudinal studies in behavioral science and digital health. Potential strategies for optimizing EMA protocols could include tailoring prompt schedules to individual contexts and developing adaptive sampling techniques.
