dynamic model of relapse. Ideally, assessments of coping, interpersonal stress, self-efficacy, craving, mood, and other proximal factors could be collected multiple times per day over the course of several months, and combined with a thorough pre-treatment assessment battery of distal risk factors. Future research with a data set that includes multiple measures of risk factors over multiple days could also take advantage of innovative modeling tools that were designed for estimating nonlinear time-varying dynamics [125].
