Summary:

Multilevel models have become very common in social research, however, there are aspects of these models that are explored infrequently in academic journals, but which rarely make their way into training materials. The author's view is that multilevel modeling offers powerful tools for understanding the multilevel data that social researchers often confront. For example, researchers are often interested in studying outcomes for diverse groups of children in different schools, residents of diverse neighbourhoods, or individuals or families living in diverse & different countries. Such inherently multilevel data lead to analytic complexities, some of which might be well understood, while others seem to be much less often appreciated. This book offers an accessible tutorial for applied researchers, especially those who see their research having some advocacy based component.
