I am interested to see the pattern of changes in distress responses across time in a flood affected population. It is a longitudinal study design, can anybody suggest some articles on the longitudinal data analyses?
Here are some useful references. However, I would suggest starting with Duncan and colleagues' book to develop a sound conceptual ground.

Naeem, I would also highly recommend the Singer and Willett book. Everyone enjoys the writing very much. It is reasonably sophisticated, but the make it quite easy to follow.
