A randomized clinical trial of smartphone self-managed recovery support services

This study examines the effectiveness of smartphone-based ecological momentary interventions (EMI) and assessments (EMA), delivered separately and combined, to provide recovery support following substance use disorder (SUD) treatment engagement. We recruited adults (N=401) from SUD treatment programs in Chicago and, after engagement for at least two sessions, nights, or medication dosages, we randomly assigned them to one of four conditions that lasted 6 months: (1) EMI only, (2) EMA only, (3) both EMI and EMA, and (4) control condition of neither EMI nor EMA.
