“…Future studies using EMA methodology should report data in line with these guidelines. In addition to improving reporting quality, future research should systematically examine variables which might improve compliance including 'booster' phone calls from researchers [68], interim compliance checks [69], coaching participants [27] and conveying the importance of good-quality data [42]. These strategies may be important, given that our exploratory analyses demonstrated that compliance rates were weakly negatively associated with year of study, which may suggest that EMA protocols may be becoming less acceptable for participants over time.…”

Background and Aims While there are considerable benefits to Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), poor compliance with assessment protocols has been identified as a limitation, particularly in substance users. Our aim was to identify the pooled compliance rate of EMA studies in substance users and examine variables that may influence compliance with EMA protocols, such as the length and frequency of assessments. Design A meta‐analysis and meta‐regression of all possible studies (randomized controlled trials and longitudinal) which incorporated EMA protocols, examining substance use. Setting Studies took place from 1998 to 2017, in numerous countries world‐wide. Participants One hundred and twenty‐six studies were identified, contributing a total of 19 431 participants (52.32% male, mean age = 28.86). Measurements Compliance data, the proportion of responses to the study protocol, were extracted from each study alongside prompt frequency, total length of assessment period, substance use population and device used to administer EMA prompts. Findings The pooled compliance rate across all studies was 75.06% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 72.37%, 77.65%]. There was no evidence that compliance rates were significantly associated with prompt frequency [Q(3) = 7.35, P = 0.061], length of assessment period [Q(2) = 2.40, P = 0.301], substance type [Q(3) = 6.30, P = 0.098] or device administration [Q(4) = 4.28, P = 0.369]. However, dependent samples (69.80%) had lower compliance rates than non‐dependent samples [76.02%; Q(1) = 4.13, P = 0.042]. Conclusions The pooled compliance rate for Ecological Momentary Assessment studies in substance‐using populations from 1998 to 2017 was lower than the recommended rate of 80%, and was not associated with frequency or duration of assessments.

“…Furthermore, this result is consistent with evidence that impaired control predicts problem drinking prospectively (Leeman et al, 2009). In addition, the Jones et al (2018b) EMA study showed that while inhibitory control on a given day did not predicted daily alcohol consumption, change in inhibitory control across that day significantly predicted alcohol consumption later on that day. By demonstrating that control was lower prior to drinking alcohol in real-life drinking situations, the current study provides further support for the notion that impaired control is not merely an aspect of addiction, but may be involved in the development of problem drinking.…”

“…Although the potential role of intentions to drink on subjective sensations of diminished self-control and higher craving levels has not been empirically investigated, findings from a meta-analysis demonstrated that intentions to consume alcohol had a strong correlation with drinking (Cooke et al, 2016). In addition, in an EMA study by Jones et al (2018b) daily intentions to drink alcohol significantly predicted alcohol consumption. Future studies should investigate whether diminished self-control and increased craving are associated with alcohol use, irrespective of intentions to consume or refrain from alcohol consumption.…”

“…Future studies combining more objective behavioral measures of self-control with the use of EMA will enhance the understanding of this important concept in real-life alcohol use. A small number of studies already successfully incorporated objective behavioral measures in EMA research studying cognitive processes in relation to alcohol use (Jones et al, 2018b), drug use (Marhe et al, 2013;Waters et al, 2012), snacking behavior (Powell et al, 2017), and smoking . Another limitation relates to the measurement of alcohol consumption.…”

“…However, little is known about the role of self-control on drinking in naturalistic settings, outside of the laboratory. To date, only one study investigated associations between inhibitory control and alcohol consumption using EMA methods (Jones et al, 2018b). In this study, they objectively measured inhibitory control in daily life and showed that deterioration in inhibitory control across the day was predictive of amount of alcohol consumption later on that day.…”

A B S T R A C TBackground: While both theory and empirical findings have supported impaired self-control as a crucial factor in understanding problem drinking, little is known about the relationship of self-control and drinking in naturalistic settings. The present study uses Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to examine the predictive relationships between impaired subjective self-control, craving and alcohol use in everyday life. Methods: A sample of 172 regular drinkers responded on their smartphone to three random prompts each day for seven days in which amount of perceived self-control and craving were measured with self-report. In the meantime, participants were instructed to initiate an EMA report when they started drinking alcohol. Results: Findings supported the hypotheses that impaired self-control and higher craving levels were prospectively related to the likelihood that people will drink. That is, on random assessments that preceded drinking (i.e., were within two hours of drinking), perceived self-control was lower and craving was higher compared to random assessments that were not followed by drinking. Additionally, during drink consumption, impaired selfcontrol and craving were associated with a higher amount of expected alcohol consumption. Findings further indicated that subjective self-control acted as a moderator of the relationship between craving and alcohol consumption during drinking occasions. Conclusions: By using a smartphone mobile application, this study showed that impaired subjective self-control and craving are prospectively related to alcohol use in the real-world. Furthermore, findings are consistent with theories of addiction that substance use might be associated with the interplay of control processes and increased motivation.

Integrating aspects of affect, reward, and cognition to develop more comprehensive models of binge‐eating pathology

Reward‐related processes are an increasing focus of eating disorders research. Although evidence suggests that numerous distinct reward processes may contribute to eating pathology (e.g., reward learning and delay discounting), existing etiological models of reward dysfunction tend to focus on only a limited number of reward processes, and frequently lack specificity when identifying the individual reward processes hypothesized to contribute to dysregulated eating behavior. Moreover, existing theories have been limited in their integration of reward‐related processes with other demonstrated risk and maintenance factors for eating disorders (e.g., affect and cognition), potentially contributing to underdeveloped models of eating pathology. In this article, we highlight five distinct reward processes with theorized or demonstrated relevance to eating disorders involving binge‐eating, followed by a review of two well‐established risk/maintenance factors for binge‐eating pathology. We then introduce two novel models of binge eating onset and maintenance that integrate these factors (i.e., the Affect, Reward, Cognition models), and discuss methods for testing each of the models in future research. Ultimately, we hope that the proposed models provide a springboard for the continued evolution of more precise and comprehensive theories of reward dysfunction in the eating disorders, as well as the development of novel intervention approaches.Public Significance StatementEating disorders are associated with abnormalities in multiple domains of reward functioning. However, models of reward dysfunction within the eating disorders have not been well‐integrated with prominent models of affect and cognition. This article presents two novel models of onset and maintenance for binge‐eating pathology, which attempt to integrate observed reward abnormalities with other affective and cognitive processes implicated in binge‐type eating disorders.
