Workshop on Multilevel Modeling in Mplus:
March 17, 18, 2005
Instructor: Bengt Muthen, UCLA
Hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Prevention and Early Intervention and the Departments of Mental Health and Biostatistics
Two one-day, no-cost training sessions will be given at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD on March 17 and 18, 2005. The topics include growth and growth mixture modeling (2- and 3-level modeling), multilevel factor analysis, multilevel structural equation modeling, and multilevel latent class modeling.
Location
Alumni Auditorium in the School of Nursing.
Prerequisites: Intermediate understanding of multilevel modeling or latent variable structural equation modeling.

Travel reimbursement scholarships of up to $500 will be offered to a limited number of early career intervention scientists (advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty members) who lack the travel resources to attend the workshop. Registrations and travel reimbursement scholarships will be accepted starting January 18 at 8 am EST.
Please e-mail (ddarney@jhsph.edu) or fax (410-550-3461) Dana Darney your completed registration form, CV and a cover letter describing your current research and how your attending the workshop will advance your research. Please also include a copy of your university/school ID. The travel reimbursement scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
