生态瞬时评估(EMA)是一组在多个情境和现实世界中频繁收集数据的研究方法。EMA在自杀学中一直被相当忽视。目前的文章为自杀专家提供了EMA的概述，包括定义、数据收集考虑因素和不同的抽样策略。接下来，讨论了EMA在自杀学中的好处(即减少回忆偏差、准确跟踪波动变量、测试理论假设、在干预中使用)、参与者的安全性考虑，以及使用EMA调查自我定向暴力变量的已发表研究的例子。文章最后对EMA在自杀学方面的研究进行了总结，并提出了建议的方向，特别是为了刺激自杀专家更多地使用这一方法。
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a group of research methods that collect data frequently, in many contexts, and in real-world settings. EMA has been fairly neglected in suicidology. The current article provides an overview of EMA for suicidologists including definitions, data collection considerations, and different sampling strategies. Next, the benefits of EMA in suicidology (i.e., reduced recall bias, accurate tracking of fluctuating variables, testing assumptions of theories, use in interventions), participant safety considerations, and examples of published research that investigate self-directed violence variables using EMA are discussed. The article concludes with a summary and suggested directions for EMA research in suicidology with the particular aim to spur the increased use of this methodology among suicidologists.
