This course provides an introduction to the theory and application of multilevel models for analysing continuous response variables. The course will be based around multilevel modelling concept sessions followed by “hands on” practical sessions using the Stata software package. Example datasets will come from the Belfast Youth Development Study, a longitudinal study of adolescent substance use. (Please note that there will not be enough time to analyse participants’ own data during the course.)


Programme outline


Day 1 morning: Multilevel data structures and variance components models


Day 1 afternoon: Random intercept models and random slope models


Day 2 morning: Contextual effects and cross-level interactions


Day 2 afternoon: Growth curve models for longitudinal data


Target audience


Quantitative social science researchers with an interest in the multilevel analysis of hierarchically structured data. It will be assumed that participants are familiar with standard multiple regression models for continuous response variables (to the level implied by Module 3 of the LEMMA online multilevel modelling course.
