what type of analysis should i use

[Tobias Wa]

Hey there,

 

i’m conducting a Research about a new trainig to prevent alcohol relapse.

i have the following variables:

 

DV: relapse(0/1)

IV1: self-esteem(scale)

IV2: number of Training sessions (nominal: 0-3/4-6/7-12)

IV3: number of addiction diagnoses (1-5)

– do i have to take interactions into account?

 

1) i want to look if one of These variables could predict whether a recipient of the Training will have a relapse in the future or not.

2) a second step would be to look if this predictor also holds for the controll condition (People who didn’t absolve the Training).

 

how can i do this using SPSS?

i thought about a binary Regression, but how can i solve the second step?

Looks like you could run a binary logistic regression with relapse (0/1) as the DV to be regressed onto your 3 IV predictors. A nominal scale for IV2 might not work so well and so you might want to reduce it to a binary categorical variable, if possible.
