Brian, Please read the Statalist FAQ regarding posting to the list. You will see that we expect that a poster will tell us where they downloaded the program from and any additional information to tell us discern which version, etc. is being used. Your posting highlights the importance of following the Statalist guidelines since -mediate- is an older version of -medeff- which is a user-written program (net sj 11-4 st0243). In the help file for -medeff- you will find the papers that serve as the basis for this program: Imai, K., L. Keele, and D. Tingley. 2010. A general approach to causal mediation analysis. Psychological Methods 15: 309-334. Imai, K., L. Keele, D. Tingley, and T. Yamamoto. 2010. Causal mediation analysis using R. In Advances in Social Science Research Using R, ed. H. D. Vinod, 129-154. New York: Springer. Imai, K., L. Keele, and T. Yamamoto. 2010. Identification, inference, and sensitivity analysis for causal mediation effects. Statistical Sciences 25: 51-71. All these papers discuss different treatment, mediator and outcome variable types....

Can someone point me to any published examples that have used this procedure with a non-binary treatment variable and a binary outcome variable? I am trying to get some guidance on how to report and interpret the results (average causal mediation effects and average direct effects). Thank you for any leads.
