Experience sampling methods for mental health research in intellectual disability2457needs and preferences of individual participants, both on the level of the questionnaire items (wording, response scales, use of visuals) and in the experience sampling protocol (duration of sampling, number of prompts per day, set-time schedule vs. random prompts). In addition, researchers may include a qualitative examination of participants’ experiences with using this method (e.g., debriefing interviews), to reveal potential bias in the study findings. In addition to mental health research, experience sampling may be used in clinical practice to contribute to personalised care, although more work is needed in this area.AcknowledgementsWe thank Benjamin van Ark for his consultation in the design of the experience sampling protocol.FundingThis study was funded by a Mental Health Alliance Fund from Amsterdam Public Health research institute (reference number: 2021136/MdB/EdB).Conflicts of interestThe authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.Authors’ contributionsLB was involved in the study concept and design, had a major role in acquisition and interpretation of data, and drafted the manuscript.
