Thanks for your reply - I've read through the article you attached before, and unfortunately, that paper doesn't mention whether or not LPA can be used with SAS (only talks about LCA/LTA as a SAS procedure and what LPA is, but not a procedure for it - does this make sense?)   From the research I've done, I'm beginning to think I may need to use a different latent measurement tool.
