Abstract Background Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) often places high physical and mental burden on research participants compared with retrospective self-reports. The could result in noncompliance the EMA sampling scheme protocol. It has been a concern that certain types of be more likely to have low compliance, such as those who severe hearing loss poor speech recognition performance, are employed, not familiar technologies used implement (e.g., smartphones), poorer cognitive...

Background/Objective: The present research tested the clinical validity of a simple self-report measure, Clinical Assessment Depression (CAD), as screening tool to identify potentially disruptive participants in immersion treatment for adolescent obesity. Methods: 257 overweight attendees at two Wellspring Camps (cognitive-behavior therapy treatment) were included (91% females; M age = 15.1; pretreatment BMI 35.0; % 77.6). Campers completed CADs, Binge Scales, 24-hour dietary recalls, and...
