Hello,
I am looking for advice on the most appropriate Stata method/command to estimate which of three maternal mental health measures (before pregnancy, during pregnancy, or postpartum when the baby is 6 months old) has the greatest impact on child behavior at 6 months.
I only have one child behavior score and the three maternal mental health measures collected at the different time points: pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, and at 6 months postpartum.
Given that mental health is typically considered to track over time, I would be grateful on advice about which Stata method/command would be most suitable for identifying which of these mental health measures at different points in time, most strongly influences the child’s behavior?
Many thanks.
