hello, I am analyzing a longitudinal intervention study with two different intervention groups. Participants are measured on DV pre-, post- and at 6 month followup. I would like to test the following moderation model question:
 Does baseline measured (level 2) variable ModVar moderate changes in dependent variable DV from baseline to post-test to follow-up (3 time points), across both intervention groups? I am running the syntax below. Is my thinking correct that finding a significant interaction of the ModVar X Time would indicate the moderation effect?
Any pointers towards literature, websites, etc., will also be greatly appreciated.
thanks so much,
bozena

MIXED
  DV  BY group Time WITH ModVar
  /FIXED = group Time group*Time ModVar ModVar*Time | SSTYPE(3)
  /Random = intercept | SUBJECT(id) COVTYPE(ID)
  /REPEATED Time | SUBJECT(id) COVTYPE(DIAG)
  /METHOD = ML
  /PRINT = DESCRIPTIVES SOLUTION TESTCOV R
  /EMMEANS=TABLES(group) COMPARE ADJ(BONFERRONI)
  /EMMEANS=TABLES(Time) COMPARE ADJ(BONFERRONI)
  /EMMEANS=TABLES(group*Time)   COMPARE (group) ADJ(BONFERRONI)
  /EMMEANS=TABLES(group*Time)   COMPARE (Time) ADJ(BONFERRONI).
