“…substance-related cues [9]) and internal factors such as stress [10,11] and craving [12,13], which can be difficult (both practically and ethically) to model in the laboratory. Similarly, individuals' substance use may be suppressed in contexts that are not typically associated with substance use; for example, Monk et al [16] demonstrated increased alcohol consumption during an experiment conducted in a pub compared to a library. For example, Monk et al [14] demonstrated that a greater number of alcoholic drinks were reported in real time using EMA than when assessed retrospectively (see also [15]).…”

Compliance with ecological momentary assessment protocols in substance users: a meta‐analysis

et al. 2018

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.

“…Despite not knowing the contents of a confederate's beverage, participants drank significantly more alcohol when a confederate drank alcohol, compared to when a confederate drank soda [88]. When in the presence of other people, participants also consumed more of what they believed was alcohol, but was actually a placebo, while in a pub environment compared to a library [89].…”

Considering Drug-Associated Contexts in Substance Use Disorders and Treatment Development

et al. 2020

Environmental contexts that are reliably associated with the use of pharmacologically active substances are hypothesized to contribute to substance use disorders. In this review, we provide an updated summary of parallel preclinical and human studies that support this hypothesis. Research conducted in rats shows that environmental contexts that are reliably paired with drug use can renew extinguished drug-seeking behavior and amplify responding elicited by discrete, drug-predictive cues. Akin to drugassociated contexts, interoceptive drug stimuli produced by the psychopharmacological effects of drugs can also influence learning and memory processes that play a role in substance use disorders. Findings from human laboratory studies show that drug-associated contexts, including social stimuli, can have profound effects on cue reactivity, drug use, and drug-related cognitive expectancies. This translationally relevant research supports the idea that treatments for substance use disorders could be improved by considering drug-associated contexts as a factor in treatment interventions. We conclude this review with ideas for how to integrate drug-associated contexts into treatment-oriented research based on 4 approaches: pharmacology, brain stimulation, mindfulness-based relapse prevention, and cognitive behavioral group therapy. Throughout, we focus on alcoholand tobacco-related research, which are two of the most prevalent and commonly misused drugs worldwide for which there are known treatments.

“…The outcomes are therefore measured in a more ecologically valid manner as compared to retrospective self-reports. This is of importance, since smoking behaviour is associated with mood and context [23,24]. Individuals may for instance smoke more during the weekend or on stressful days [31].…”

“…Effects of tDCS on addictive behaviour have often been measured with retrospective self-reports in the lab. Since craving and substance use are both episodic phenomena that are associated with affect and context [22][23][24], measuring these variables in daily life may lead to more reliable answers. Furthermore, retrospective measurements may be influenced by recall biases [25,26].…”

No effect of repetitive tDCS on daily smoking behaviour in light smokers: A placebo controlled EMA study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction The effectiveness of repetitive transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on reducing smoking behaviour has been studied with mixed results. Smoking behaviour is influenced by affect and context, therefore we choose to use mobile ecological momentary assessments (EMA) to measure changes in smoking behaviour after tDCS. Methods In a randomized, placebo-controlled, between subject study, we applied tDCS bilaterally with the anodal electrode targeting the right DLPFC (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/ NCT03027687). Smokers were allocated to six sessions of either active tDCS (n = 35) or sham tDCS (n = 36) and received two sessions on three different days in one week. They were asked to keep track of their daily cigarette consumption, craving and affect in an application on their mobile phones for three months starting one week before the first tDCS session. Results Number of smoked cigarettes a day progressively decreased up to one week after the last tDCS session in both conditions. Active treatment had no additional effect on cigarette consumption, craving and affect. Conclusions In this exploratory study, repetitive bilateral tDCS over the DLPFC had no effect on daily smoking behaviour. Future research needs to investigate how motivation to quit smoking and the number of tDCS sessions affect the efficacy of repetitive tDCS.
