Hi all,

We want to perform dyadic analysis for a cross-sectional dataset of about 800 families with father, mother and children.

A wide range of information was collected, e.g., mental health, physical health, relationship quality. We would like to study how father's trauma experience relate to mother and children's mental health, using dyadic analysis.

I want to know whether I can perform dyadic analysis using the current dataset, but I don't know what criteria I should check against. For example, sample size, do the data (e.g., depression measure) has to be collected at the same time from all family members?



Any insight is highly appreciated!

Maggie
