This paper uses longitudinal data to illustrate one such method: full longitudinal mediation model (FLMM) analysis, which is an advanced method for analyzing theory-guided social and behavioral studies examining complex causal relationships. Method: Analyses included three waves of data from the Focus on Youth in the Caribbean project. We applied FLMM to test the causal relationship between HIV/AIDS knowledge, condom-use self-efficacy, and condom-use intention. We used Mplus to fit FLMM to the data due to its capacity to handle missing values with a full information maximum likelihood method. Results: Data fit the FLMM satisfactorily. Results showed that HIV/AIDS knowledge and condom-use self-efficacy formed a self-enhancement system over time: HIV/AIDS knowledge was significantly and causally related to intention to use condoms through a multipath mediation process, and self-efficacy for and intention to use condoms during sex formed a positive feedback loop. Conclusions: Findings demonstrate several strengths of FLMM and underscore the need for further research of this method in educational intervention trials.","PeriodicalId":51692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research","volume":"279 1","pages":"161 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90786766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, when assessing the warmth of the father-child relationship, a child is first asked if they have contact with their father; if so, the level of warmth they feel toward him is ascertained. In this setting, data on the warmth measure is missing for children without contact with their father, and such missing data can pose a significant methodological and substantive challenge when the variable is used as an outcome or antecedent variable in a model. In both cases, it is advantageous to use an analytic method that simultaneously models whether the child has contact with the father, and if they do, the degree to which the father-child relationship is characterized by warmth. This is particularly relevant when the two-part variable is measured over time, as contact status may change. We offer a pragmatic tutorial for using two-part variables in regression models, including a brief overview of growth modeling, an explanation of the techniques to handle two-part variables as predictors and outcomes in the context of growth modeling, examples with real data, and syntax in both R and Mplus for fitting all discussed models.</p>","PeriodicalId":51692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research","volume":"13 2","pages":"409-430"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/714016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9731153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
