A New SAS Procedure for Latent Transition Analysis: Transitions in Dating and Sexual Risk Behavior Developmental Psychology 44,2 (March 2008): 446-456. Also: http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/dev/44/2/446/ Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Adolescent Sexual Activity; Alcohol Use; Dating; Modeling, Growth Curve/Latent Trajectory Analysis The set of statistical methods available to developmentalists is continually being expanded, allowing for questions about change over time to be addressed in new, informative ways. Indeed, new developments in methods to model change over time create the possibility for new research questions to be posed. Latent transition analysis, a longitudinal extension of latent class analysis, is a method that can be used to model development in discrete latent variables, for example, stage processes, over two or more times. The current article illustrates this approach using a new SAS procedure, PROC LTA, to model change over time in adolescent and young adult dating and sexual risk behavior. Gender differences are examined, and substance use behaviors are included as predictors of initial status in dating and sexual risk behavior and transitions over time. |
