Trujillo, C. A., Obando, D., & Trujillo, A. (2019). An examination of the association between early initiation of substance use and interrelated multilevel risk and protective factors among adolescents. PLoS ONE 14(12). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0225384

Therefore, this cross sectional study used two different types of modeling to examine these associations, the multivariate regression analysis and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). The MCA allows for testing of interdependence between risk factors and protective factors...
