Participants were randomized to either electronic cigarette (EC) or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) treatment arms. We compared EMA data collected through automated SMS text message prompts sent to participants 4 times daily for 12 weeks, including cigarettes smoked per day (CPD), craving, and satisfaction, to survey data collected at 12 weeks. Convergent validity between survey- and EMA-reported measures was evaluated using Pearson correlation and paired\n                      <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                      tests. CPD was modeled using negative binomial regression. Relative rates (RRs) of reaching at least 50%, 75%, and 100% CPD reduction between two arms were calculated using both EMA and survey data.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The majority of participants were non-Hispanic White (63\/109, 58%) and female (60\/109, 55%), and had a median age of 60 (IQR 54\u201065) years. Among the 109 participants, 59.6% (n=65) were consistently adherent to the EMA protocol over the 12-week period. Median weekly EMA response rate remained high over the 12-week study period even though a modest decline was observed (week 1, 97.8% and week 12, 89.4%). The mean CPD declined significantly (week 1, mean 14.2, SD 9.9 and week 12, mean 4.6, SD 6.7;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;.001). EMA-derived and survey-based CPD measurements were positively correlated (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.73, 95% CI 0.6-0.82) as were measures of craving (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.38, 95% CI 0.17-0.56). No significant paired difference in CPD was observed between EMA measurements and surveys. A significant effect of time on CPD EMA data (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1-week change 0.93;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;.01) and survey data was found (IRR 12-week change 0.36;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;.01). However, the treatment effect was not significant, which aligned with the RR results. An increase in the EC consumption was observed over time in the EC arm, with 12.1% (7\/58) fully switched to EC (defined as CPD=0 and EC use&gt;0) and 20.7% (12\/58) mostly switched (defined as a reduction in CPD&gt;75% and EC use&gt;0) in week 12.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EMA is a suitable method to collect recall-based smoking-related data. Though results from mixed effect modeling and RR comparisons were similar using EMA or survey data, EMA provides unique advantages, namely greater granularity in the time and the capability to detect switching patterns in near real time. These findings provide the feasibility of using EMA in developing smoking cessation interventions in future tobacco harm reduction research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/66709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,12]],"date-time":"2025-02-12T00:55:07Z","timestamp":1739321707000},"page":"e66709-e66709","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Using Text Messaging Ecological Momentary Assessment to Record Changes in e-Cigarette and Combustible Cigarette Use: Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5061-9553","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tucker","family":"Morgan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4354-4406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3307-5207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Nicholson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3342-6377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omar","family":"El Shahawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1752-7303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Scott E","family":"Sherman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6063-1523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth R","family":"Stevens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","unstructured":"Smoking cessation: a report of the surgeon general.
