Conditional relationships of mean EMA sleep quality mean on pain severity at varying levels of age
Simple intercept z Simple slope z
Younger age (−1 SD below age) −3.16 −0.18 0.20 0.83
Mean age −8.16 −0.48 −0.17 −0.88
Older age (+1 SD above age) −13.15 −0.71 −0.54 −1.95

Note. The model controls for SCD genotype, current hydroxyurea prescription, and positive and negative mood. Level 2 EMA variables are all person-centered means. Level 1 EMA subjective sleep quality variable is from the morning report referencing the previous night. EMA = ecological momentary assessment; SCD = sickle cell disease; SE = standard error.
