BACKGROUND: Craving is viewed as a major determinant of relapse in persons with
substance addiction, but this association remains poorly understood due to its
time-limited nature and the biases associated with retrospective reporting.
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) offers new opportunities to examine both
craving and substance use with strong ecological validity by collecting real-time
data in daily life. This review examined all published studies using EMA to: (1)
assess the link between craving and substance use; and (2) identify relevant
moderators of craving among substance users.
METHODS: We searched PubMed and PsycInfo databases up to October 31, 2013.
RESULTS: Ninety-one studies were selected, involving mostly tobacco smokers
(73%). A majority of studies (92%) reported a positive relationship between
craving and substance use, concurrently and prospectively, and among users with
different levels of use for both legal and illegal substances. Results suggest
that craving is a stronger predictor of relapse episodes when assessed in close
temporal proximity to substance use. EMA data also confirmed the influence of
diverse within-person and between-person sources of variation in daily life
craving reports.
CONCLUSIONS: This review provides strong support for the link between craving and
substance use, and underscores the importance of the timing of assessments.
