Hi @c.frohs,
Thanks for the detailed explanation, that’s very helpful.
What you’re seeing is expected behavior with criteria in Avicenna. By default, criteria can reference the most recent answer across sessions, not only the current one. This can cause follow-up questions to appear based on snack selections made in previous EMAs, even when participants answer “No” in the current session.
To prevent this, you’ll want to update your criteria so that dependent questions are conditioned on the full response chain from the current session (for example, checking both the craving or consumption question and the snack selection together).
We have a step-by-step guide that explains this behavior and how to adjust your criteria accordingly: Force Criteria to Use Only the Answers from the Current Session
Please check this and let me know if it helps prevent the issue.
And don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or need help.
Thanks!
