Measurement Invariance
Scientific Questions Being Studied
The proposed analyses aim to describe the correlation and covariance of available measures across different subgroups to gain a better understanding of how these measures are related.
Project Purpose(s)
- Educational
Scientific Approaches
Survey data and aggregated results from exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses will be used to assess psychometric characteristics of measures across different socio-demographic variables.
Anticipated Findings
Findings of proposed analyses can help advancing our understanding of measurement invariance across different subgroups and inform testing assumptions of
synthetic datasets.
Demographic Categories of Interest
This study will not center on underrepresented populations.
Data Set Used
Controlled Tier
neighborhood & mental health
Scientific Questions Being Studied
The study will explore (1) the stability and change of mental health trajectories across racial/ethnic groups, and (2) how contextual factors, neighborhood risk, or community resources are associated with mental health trajectories.
Project Purpose(s)
- Social / Behavioral
Scientific Approaches
The project will utilize economic hardship, employment stability, zip codes, income, household crowdedness, and mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, stress) across time. Psychometric properties of mental health assessments will be testes using structural equation modeling, and latent growth modeling will be used to assess mental health trajectories.
Anticipated Findings
The study will assess measurement invariance of mental health assessment across racial/ethnic groups and will provide the information on the associations between contextual factors and mental health trajectories across racial/ethnic groups.
Demographic Categories of Interest
- Race / Ethnicity
- Age
- Geography
- Access to Care
- Education Level
- Income Level
