Abstract:

The concept of multilevel intervention is based on the assumption that individual behavior is interwoven with multiple layers; one person's predictor may influence not only that person's outcome measure, but also that person's partners' outcome measures. In this talk, I will briefly review the actor-partner interdependence models (APIMs) used in the study of family system when data from multiple family members are gathered. Next, we propose two Bayesian longitudinal APIMs, which are hierarchical longitudinal model with actor's and partner's predictors, to estimate effects of interest as well as various levels of correlations. We illustrate our approach using data from HIV-affected families in China.
