This is why the first week of my longitudinal data analysis class starts with methods topics rather than diving into stats. Longitudinal data analysis can't overcome research design choices & measurement lags that don't match your theory of change. Theory, methods, & analysis need to work on tandem.
In critiques of research you often hear about "samples of convenience" as being a major limitation.
