Understanding Society User Support

Hello,

I am currently working on creating the tailored weight for my unbalanced panel dataset. However, after studying the instructions for tailored weights on Moodle, I still have some difficulties with the creation of tailored weights. It would be great if you could help me.

I am using the youth data about their SDQ from waves 3-13, and want to use their parents' information as independent variables. However, since I also want to consider some lagged effects of parents' influence on their children, I will use the parents' data from wave 1. One thing to notice is that the SDQ questionnaire is taken every two year for youth aged 10-15, so they will have at most 3 times of SDQ score over the waves and I want to use the youth data who have at least two SDQ score. I feel like I should choose wave 3 as my base weight but I am still confused. Meanwhile, about the data relating to parents, I want to consider the maternal, paternal and parental influence separately, which also brings some difficulties to my question.

Thank you very much! I am looking forward to your reply!
