An investigation into the temporal scaling of community participation measurement.

Abstract

Understanding the implications of temporal resolution for participation measures is valuable for advancing ecological participation models. Future research is needed to develop consensus on participation measurement and provide a solid basis for developing ecological models of participation.

Ecological momentary assessment of daily discrimination experiences and nicotine, alcohol, and drug use among sexual and gender minority individuals.

“…The purpose of this study is to examine the within day associations between discrimination and nicotine and substance use among SGM individuals using ecological momentary assessment (EMA). This methodology, which involves multiple within day measurements and, as such, is sensitive enough to detect momentary fluctuations over time, has been regarded as the “gold standard” in terms of in situ self-report methodologies (Livingston, Hargrove, et al, 2015; Robbins & Kubiak, 2014; Kamarck, Shiffman, & Wethington, 2011). It was expected that use of this methodology would enable detection of discrimination effects in real/near-real time, and provide insight into the duration of these effects as they relate to within day risk for nicotine and substance use.…”
