Hello,

I am trying to construct indices for well being, stress and environmental concern. I am using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) because I designed my survey to have certain questions relate to certain factors I planned to create. I have successfully made SEM models in the GUI and used estat mindices to identify additional covariates to add to my model. Despite many of the constants being 1, the pvals are very low.

What I am having trouble with is what to do next. I have found many tutorials on how to construct these SEM models, but none that then show how to save the estimates and use them as coefficients in a regression. In my case, this would be creating a binomial logit on whether a respondent replied yes or no to changing their behaviour, or a multinomial logit on how long in the future they plan to change their behaviour. Both cases would include variables in addition to the factors, such as demographics.

Do you know of any tutorials, video or written, that show this process?

Thank you in advance.
