The prediction of study-emergent suicidal ideation in bipolar disorder: a pilot study using ecological momentary assessment data

摘要

ObjectivesBipolar disorder is associated with idiosyncratic precursors of clinically important states such as suicidal ideation. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) - high frequency data collection in a subject's usual environment - provides the potential for development of temporal, individualized prediction of risk states. The present study tested the ability of EMA data to predict individual symptom change in clinician-rated suicidal ideation.
