You will often see people assigning cases to classes based on posterior probabilities (usually to run separate logistic regressions of classes on covariates), but this removes uncertainty in class membership and thus biases standard errors of coefficients downward.  So optimally you would use a concomitant-variable LCA, or improved multi-step approaches:

Vermunt, J.K. (2010). Latent Class Modeling with Covariates: Two Improved Three-Step Approaches. Political Analysis, 18(4), 450-469.
