Thank you Ben, for sharing your perspective. It’s a relief to hear. I was starting to wonder if I was looking in the wrong places!

Thanks very much for recommending the Jackson & Bazeley text. I happen to have it! It’s what first alerted me to the problem of viral coding. It’s a resource I keep returning to. I just wish there were more like it!

Thank you again for sharing your insights. This exchange has been tremendously helpful.

Sincerely,
Calvin

Thank you Ben, for your very detailed response.

I was on the fence about switching to the catalogue system because although a viral pattern was beginning to emerge in my coding structure, it wasn’t severe enough (yet) to make the switch necessary. Your explanations and detailed instructions provide the assurance I was seeking, and I’ve made the switch.

If you happen to know any resources/texts that offer additional strategies for dealing with this matter in designs with ≥2 time points and/or ≥2 comparison groups, I’d be grateful for any recommendations. If none come to mind, what you’ve provided here is already extremely helpful and gives me plenty to work with. My sincere thanks once again for your generous response.

With thanks,
Calvin
