A college counseling center administers assessment measures on a repeated basis (interval) to clients who use mental health services. Students complete a 62-item measure (baseline) at intake, and a brief version of the measure 34-item) at the third, sixth and ninth session (three times). Treatment ranges anywhere from three sessions to ten sessions - so, the same participants are measured over several time periods or waves, but not every participant will have the same number of observations.
Also, I want to compare three interventions (IVs): Counseling only, Psychiatric Medication only, Counseling and Psychiatric medication
By looking at the scores on the clinical assessment measure (DV).
Will the mismatch in time or waves cause me problems?
