Hi Kristin,

I am using StataNow 19 for causal mediation analysis. I have a binary outcome, a binary exposure (treatment) variable, and two mediators—one continuous and one binary—while adjusting for other baseline covariates.

The analysis produces effect estimates reported as coefficients. However, the Stata command does not allow me to specify the model type. Could you please advise whether it would be appropriate to report the effect estimates as coefficients in this setting?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.
