Latent transition analysis (LTA), also referred to as latent Markov modeling, is an extension of latent class/profile analysis (LCA/LPA) used to model the interrelations of multiple latent class variables. LTA methods have become increasingly accessible and in-turn are being utilized in applied research. The current article provides an introduction to LTA by answering 10 questions commonly asked by applied researchers. Topics discussed include: (1) an overview of LTA; (2) a comparison of LTA to other longitudinal models; (3) software used to run LTA; (4) sample size suggestions; (5) modeling steps in LTA; (6) measurement invariance; (7) the inclusion of auxiliary variables; (8) interpreting results of an LTA; (9) the nature of data (e.g., longitudinal, cross-sectional); and (10) extensions of LTA. An applied example of LTA is included to help understand how to build an LTA and interpret results. Finally, the article suggests future areas of research for LTA. This article provides an overview of LTA, highlighting key decisions researchers need to make to navigate and implement an LTA analysis from start to finish.
