Heading home from #ehps2025 — health psychology at its best in my second academic home, Groningen 🇳🇱! It was great to meet old friends and get to know new people and their work! I presented our study on when to ideally deliver digital health interventions in daily life 👉 mental.jmir.org/2025/1/e74103

Yes, indeed! Our preprint is out! 🙌
We compared different #JITAI triggering strategies and found that those based on self-reported support need were rated better than those based on #emotion (dynamics)!
More on this and the feasibility of our social support JITAI 👇
