This advanced training course is based on a presentation by Dr. Helena Kraemer at the 2007 Career Development Institute for Psychiatry in Palo Alto, CA. The course focuses on the operational definitions of mediation and moderation, the rationale for examining them, and criteria used to determine if variables are mediators or moderators. Dr. Kraemer does this by comparing the traditional Baron & Kenny model to the innovative MacArthur model.

In this training course, Dr. Daniel Bauer provides a broad conceptual overview of multilevel statistical modeling. Topics include why conventional statistical models are inappropriate for nested/dependent data structures, the fixed-effects model, and the random effects approach to multilevel modeling. Dr. Bauer demonstrates how to formulate a multilevel model and interpret the results obtained from fitting the model.

In this training course, Dr. Atkins turns the question, "Why should mental health researchers conduct school studies?" on its head, providing a thought-provoking presentation that focuses on why schools, and the NIMH, should support research in educational settings. He demonstrates a new way to think about 'resistance' to school-based research, advocates taking an ecological perspective when working with public schools, and emphasizes sustainability and the importance of embedded research.

This advanced training course is based on a presentation given by Dr. Todd Little at the Society for Research on Adolescence, Biennial Meeting, March 2006. The course focuses on understanding the concepts behind structural equation modeling for developmental data. Topics include defining a construct, using SEM with mean-level information, testing for invariance across time and groups, and comparing differences in latent construct across time and across groups. (For a ‘hands-on’ approach to Longitudinal SEM, including LISREL and M Plus analysis, consider attending Dr. Little’s advanced course at www.Quant.KU.edu).
