BACKGROUND The use of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) has been utilized with young people experiencing homelessness to gather information on contexts associated with homelessness and risk behavior in real time and has proven feasible with this population. However, the extent to which EMA may impact attitudes or behaviors of currently homeless and formerly young adults residing in supportive housing has not been well investigated. OBJECTIVE This study describes feedback regarding EMA study participation from currently and formerly homeless young adults and examines reactivity to EMA participation and compliance. METHODS This mixed-methods study uses cross-sectional data collected pre- and post-EMA, intensive longitudinal data from a seven-day EMA prompting period and focus groups with currently and formerly homeless young adults in Los Angeles, California between 2017 and 2019. RESULTS Qualitative data confirmed quantitative findings. Differences in the experience of EMA between currently and formerly homeless young adults were found related to stress/anxiety, interference with daily life, difficulty charging, behavior change, and honesty in response. Anxiety and depression symptomatology decreased from pre- to post-EMA, but compliance was not significantly associated with the decrease. CONCLUSIONS Results point to special considerations when administering EMA with currently and formerly homeless young adults. EMA appears to be slightly more burdensome for currently homeless young adults, compared to those residing in supportive housing; nuances to consider in study design. The lack of relationship between study compliance and symptomatology suggests low levels of reactivity.

Momentary Assessment

Background: Dual use of e-cigarettes and combustible tobacco products is common in young adults. We aimed to explore how ratings of subjective and contextual factors differed between discrete episodes of e-cigarette use vs. combustible tobacco product smoking among a sample of young adults. Methods: Young adults (N = 29, ages 18–30) who used e-cigarettes and ≥1 combustible tobacco product at least once weekly completed a 1-week smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA). Twice daily random prompts assessed past-15-min use of tobacco products, ratings of subjective factors (e.g., negative affect, craving), and contextual factors related to activity, location, and companionship. A multivariable GEE model assessed whether subjective or contextual factors were associated with e-cigarette vs. combustible tobacco product episodes. Results: 184 tobacco use episodes were reported (39.7% e-cigarette, 60.3% combustible tobacco product). High baseline cigarette dependence, as measured by the Fagerström Test for Cigarette Dependence, was associated with lower odds of e-cigarette vs. combustible tobacco product episodes (aOR 0.01, 95% CI (0.002–0.08); p < 0.001). Neither between- or within-subjects negative affect or craving scores were associated with e-cigarette use. Activities of eating/drinking (aOR 0.20, 95% CI (0.08–0.49); p = 0.001) and being in the companionship of a person who smoked cigarettes (aOR 0.13, 95% CI (0.04–0.43); p = 0.001) were associated with lower odds of e-cigarette vs. combustible tobacco product use episodes. However, traveling (aOR 12.02, 95% CI (3.77–38.26); p ≤ 0.001) and being in a public space (aOR 2.76, 95% CI (1.10–6.96); p = 0.03) were associated with higher odds of e-cigarette than combustible tobacco product use episodes. Conclusions: This pilot data suggests that unique contextual factors may be associated with e-cigarette use, compared to combustible tobacco smoking in a sample of young adults who use both e-cigarettes and combustible tobacco products. Future research with larger samples is needed to better characterize varying contexts and cues for tobacco use among young adults who are dual users.
