Longitudinal Mediation Analysis with Latent Growth Curves
Methodology

Abstract
The paper considers mediation analysis with longitudinal data under latent growth curve models within a counterfactual framework. Estimators and their standard errors are derived for natural direct and indirect effects when the mediator, the outcome, and possibly also the exposure can be modeled by an underlying latent variable giving rise to a growth curve. Settings are also considered in which the exposure is instead fixed at a single point in time.
