In the Burns et al. (2011) study, depressive symptoms were assessed in order to predict mood for the purposes of tailoring when coping strategies were delivered. Thus, this was an EMA/I study.

b

Dunton et al. (2013) used custom software downloaded onto a mobile phone rather than a standard smartphone app.
