All participants were smokers and provided at least two weeks of EMA data. Within-person effects are shown as odds ratios (95% CIs); bold type indicates statistical significance (p<0.05); each model adjusted for between-person effects. Odds ratios are interpreted as the change in risk of the outcome associated with a unit increase in the independent variable (i.e. an OR of 2 means a doubling of risk associated with a unit increase in the DV, an OR of 0.5 denotes a halving of risk associated with a unit increase in the DV).
