Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is a research method that involves collecting data from individuals in their natural environment using mobile devices or other technology. It focuses on capturing individuals' experiences, behaviors, and physiological responses in real-time as they occur in their daily lives. EMA helps researchers understand how these factors relate to each other and how they influence behavior.

Ho‘ouna Pono Program Breakdown: We have reviewed the Ho‘ouna Pono lessons and activities and rearranged the materials onto one accessible page. This allows us to understand what materials are accessed. 

Ho‘ouna Pono Site: We have connected Google Analytics to the Ho‘ouna Pono site to understand site retention and click-through rates.

EMA Buildout on Google Forms: Our EMA tool will be piloted on Google Forms to send out real-time surveys to Ho‘ouna Pono deliverers. Teachers will receive a text message alert with the link to the form after they deliver a lesson to their students.

EMA Tool Pilot Testing: We will pilot the tool with Kailua Intermediate School teachers in April 2026. These data will help to inform Ho‘ouna Pono improvements and understand teachers' decision-making in adapting the lessons.
