Notes: Latent transition analyses were performed using Mplus 7.4. Model 1 and Model 2 both feature hidden Markov first-order latent transitions assuming measurement invariance over time. Model 1 allows differing transition matrices over time whereas Model 2 assumes a single transition matrix across all time points.
