General
The number of studies using EMA has increased exponentially as researchers have started to realize the potential of this methodology. However, setting up an EMA study and analyzing EMA data can be challenging and requires numerous difficult choices. We are organizing three free lectures on EMA in healthcare research as part of a grant that was awarded by APH to facilitate knowledge exchange for inexperienced EMA researchers, experienced EMA researchers, and clinicians.
Lecture 1: Formulating your research question, setting up your study, and gathering active EMA data
Lecture 2: Analyzing and interpreting active EMA data
Lecture 3: Passive EMA data
Topics we’ll discuss
- Research questions that can be answered using EMA data
- Questionnaire design and evaluation
- Methodological choices regarding the design of the study
- Practical and ethical issues
Afterwards there will be drinks from 16:30 to 17:30, where there will also be the possibility for discussing specific research designs with the EMA experts who provided the lecture.
