Assessing Young Adults' ENDS Use via Ecological Momentary Assessment and a Smart Bluetooth Enabled ENDS Device.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe assessment of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use poses unique challenges that go beyond established assessment methods for tobacco cigarettes. Recent studies have proposed using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), a method to collect self-reported data on mobile devices, or data passively collected by "smart" Bluetooth enabled ENDS to assess use. The current study sought to compare ENDS use data using EMA and puff counts collected from a smart device. AIMS AND
methodsWe recruited 18 young adult ENDS users (age M = 23.33; 44.4% female) from the San Francisco Bay Area. For a total of 30 days, participants completed daily diaries by EMA and used a second-generation smart Bluetooth enabled ENDS that collected puff data. Repeated measures correlations, multilevel regressions, and paired t tests assessed concordance of EMA reports and ENDS data. A subset of four highly compliant participants were selected for sensitivity analyses.
resultsAmong all 18 participants, completion of EMA daily diaries was high (77.4%). The ENDS device collected approximately twice as many puffs per day as participants reported. Compared with self-reported number of sessions and amount of e-liquid used, self-reported puff counts had the highest correlation with device-collected puff counts (rrm = 0.49; p < .001). Correlations between self-reported and device-collected puff counts improved among the subset of four highly compliant participants (rrm = 0.59; p < .001).
conclusionsSelf-reports potentially underestimate use of ENDS. Puff counts appear to be the best self-reported measure to assess ENDS use compared with number of sessions or liquid volume. IMPLICATIONS: The comparison of EMA self-reports and passively collected ENDS device data can inform future efforts to assess ENDS use. Self-reported puff counts are preferable over number of sessions or amount of liquid used, but compared with objective usage data, self-reported puff counts may still underestimate actual use. ENDS use behavior is likely higher than users estimate and report. Future research on improved measures of ENDS use is needed.
