Background: Measuring multiple and higher-order interaction effects between multiple categorical variables proves challenging. Objectives: To illustrate a multilevel modelling approach to studying complex interactions. Methods: We apply a two-level random-intercept linear regression to a binary outcome for individuals (level-1) nested within strata (level-2) defined by all observed combinations of
Adolescents with an immigrant background have poorer educationalperformance than their native counterparts, which may partly be explainedby the quality of their neighbourhood area upon immigration to Sweden.
