Emotional abuse moderates efficacy of an ecological momentary stress management intervention for college students.

Web-based stress management interventions are effective for college students, particularly those with interpersonal trauma histories.

Ecological momentary interventions (EMIs), which use mobile phones to deliver near-real-time psychosocial interventions in daily life, offer the possibility of increasing intervention efficacy.
