Analysis of multivariate longitudinal substance use outcomes using multivariate mixed cumulative logit model

Abstract Background Longitudinal assessments of usage are often conducted for multiple substances (e.g., cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana) and research interests are often focused on the inter-substance association. We propose a multivariate longitudinal modeling approach for jointly analyzing the...

We propose a multivariate longitudinal modeling approach for jointly analyzing the ordinal multivariate substance use data.

Specifically, males showed steeper trends on cigarette and marijuana use over time compared to females, while less so for alcohol. For all three substances, age effects appear to be different for different cumulative logits, indicating the violation of proportional odds assumption. Conclusions The multivariate mixed cumulative logit model offers the most flexibility and allows one to examine the inter-substance association when proportional odds assumption is violated.Xiaolei LinRobin MermelsteinDonald HedekerBMCarticleMixed cumulative logit modelMultivariate longitudinal outcomesNon-proportional odds assumptionSubstance usageMedicine (General)R5-920ENBMC Medical Research Methodology, Vol 21, Iss 1, Pp 1-9 (2021)
