“…Although parents in the control condition stated that they would be more likely to participate again, plausibly because of the exception of attending the education sessions, while no self-monitoring was expected of them. Finally, although not examined in this study, SMS has the potential to be more reliable and valid than PD given that the data are associated with a time and date stamp as opposed to back-fill, often associated with PDs (17). Our study did have several limitations in addition to the small sample, including only English speaking families, and intermittent difficulties with using SMS (e.g., phone companies merged, plans discontinued, coverage areas), which could both influence generalizability.…”

Objective-To examine acceptability, attrition, adherence, and preliminary efficacy of mobile phone short message service (SMS; text messaging) for monitoring healthy behaviors in children.Design-All randomized children received a brief psychoeducational intervention and then either monitored target behaviors via SMS with feedback, via paper diaries (PD), or participated in a nomonitoring control (C) for 8 weeks. Setting-University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill HospitalsParticipants-Fifty-eight children (age 5 -13) and parents participated; 31 completed (SMS: 13/18, PD: 7/18, C: 11/22).Intervention-Children and parents participated in a total of three group education sessions (one session weekly for three weeks) to encourage increasing physical activity and decreasing screen time and sugar sweetened beverage consumption.Main Outcome Measures-Treatment acceptability, attrition, and adherence to self-monitoring. Analysis-Descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests were used to analyze differences across time and group.Results-Children in SMS had somewhat lower attrition (28%) than both PD (61%) and C (50%), and significantly greater adherence to self-monitoring than PD (43% vs 19%, p < 0.02).Conclusions and Implications-SMS may be a useful tool for self-monitoring healthy behaviors in children although the efficacy of this approach needs further study. Implications suggest that novel technologies may play a role in improving health.

“…Modern information technology provides one such tool. Electronic diaries increase adherence by providing immediate feedback (16,17) and time stamps. In one study, personal digital assistants increased patient adherence from 11% to 94% (17).…”

“…ESMc offers a number of potential advantages over ESMp (Bolger et al, 2003;Stone and Shiffman, 2002) -(1) it provides direct measure of compliance by recording precise time-stamps for each response, as well as the time it took for the subject to complete each question; (2) ESMc facilitates the use of branching; (3) ESMc minimizes the cost and labor associated with transcription of data; and perhaps most importantly, (4) because of the availability of precise time-stamps, ESMc makes it feasible to investigate interactions between psychological and neurobiological mechanisms by synchronizing the times of ESMc and ambulatory physiological indexes (heart rate, electrodermal response, respiration, posture, movement, etc.). Additionally, Stone et al (2003b) reported significantly higher compliance rates among users of electronic diaries, compared to paper-based diaries.…”

The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is an ecologically valid, time-sampling of self-reports developed to study the dynamic process of person-environment interactions. ESM with digital wristwatch and booklets (paper-based ESM; ESMp) has been used extensively to study schizophrenia. The present study is designed to test the feasibility and validity of using Computerized ESM (ESMc) among individuals with schizophrenia. ESMc is advantageous in allowing for recording of precise time-stamps of responses. We used PDAs ("Personal Digital Assistant"; Palm handheld computers) to collect data on momentary psychotic symptoms, mood, and thoughts over a one day period among 10 hospitalized schizophrenia patients and 10 healthy controls. ESMc was equally acceptable to both groups, with similar ratings of comfort carrying the PDAs and operating them, interference with daily activities, as well as response rates. The schizophrenia patients reported significantly higher ratings of auditory and visual hallucinations, suspiciousness, sense of unreality, lack of thought control, fear of losing control, difficulty expressing thoughts, as well as depression/sadness, loneliness and less cheerfulness. Significant inverse relationships were found among both groups between ratings of feeling cheerful and being stressed, irritated, and sad/depressed. Among the schizophrenia subjects, the correlation between ratings of suspiciousness on ESMc and Scale for Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS) approached significance, as well as the link between suspiciousness and stress. Our results support the feasibility and validity of using ESMc for assessment of momentary psychotic symptoms, mood, and experiences among individuals with schizophrenia. The authors discuss the potential applications of combining ESMc with ambulatory physiological measures.

“…In addition, most previous studies used paper diaries rather than electronic diaries that prompted patients to input their daily RCS. Compliance with electronic diaries has been reported to be 94% compared with only 11% compliance with paper diaries (21).…”

Objective. Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) affects 3-9% of the general population and >90% of patients with systemic sclerosis. Nitrates are often prescribed for the treatment of RP, but currently available formulations are limited by side effects, particularly headaches, dizziness, and skin irritation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of a novel formulation of topical nitroglycerin, MQX-503, in the treatment of RP in an ambulatory setting.Methods. We conducted a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study with a 2-week single-blind run-in period to determine baseline severity, followed by a 4-week double-blind treatment phase. Two hundred nineteen adult patients with a clinical diagnosis of primary or secondary RP received 0.9% MQX-503 gel or matching placebo during the treatment period. Gel was applied immediately before or within 5 minutes of the beginning of an episode of RP (maximum of 4 applications daily). End points included the change in the mean Raynaud's Condition Score (RCS; scale 0-10), the frequency and duration of episodes, and subjective assessments at the target week (the week during the treatment phase that most closely matched the run-in period in terms of ambient temperature) compared with baseline.Results. The mean (%) change in the RCS at the target week compared with baseline was significantly ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00419419.
