This is the first study to examine whether cell phones could be used to collect ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data with homeless crack cocaine-addicted adults in treatment. The study adapted an EMA method to examine behavior in real time using cell phones and computer-automated telephone interviewing. Participants treated in an intensive outpatient treatment program were given cell phones for a 2-week period to record current states of cocaine craving and using episodes. Results showed cell phone technology could reliably deliver a computerized survey; this homeless population would use a cell phone to report craving and using episodes, and drug use reported via EMA was in agreement with urine toxicology results for 73% of participants. Of 30 participants, 24 (80%) completed the full 2-week protocol. Participants indicated the survey made them more aware of phenomena leading to cravings and use, suggesting the usefulness of EMA as a potential intervention.
这是第一项研究，旨在探讨手机是否可用于收集正在接受治疗的无家可归的可卡因成瘾成年人的生态瞬时评估（EMA）数据。该研究采用了一种EMA方法，通过手机和计算机自动电话访谈实时检查行为。在强化门诊治疗项目中接受治疗的参与者被给予手机，为期两周，以记录当前的可卡因渴望状态和使用情况。结果显示，手机技术能够可靠地提供计算机化调查；这一无家可归人群会使用手机报告渴望和使用情况，并且通过EMA报告的药物使用情况与73%的参与者的尿液毒理学结果相符。在30名参与者中，24名（80%）完成了完整的两周方案。参与者表示，该调查使他们更加了解导致渴望和使用的现象，这表明EMA作为一种潜在干预措施是有用的。
