Alternatively to Austin's suggestion you could run a multinomial logit
with random intercepts, see section 9.3 in the -gllamm- manual for an
example. You can also estimate this type of model using the -mixlogit-
module which is available from SSC, type -ssc describe mixlogit- and
follow the instructions to install. A paper describing the module was
published in the most recent version of the Stata Journal (7-3), you
can download a pre-publication draft version from my website:
<http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~ah522/home.htm>. See in particular the
second set of examples in section 4 which use the same dataset as in
the -gllamm- manual.
The advantage of using -mixlogit- is that it uses simulation rather
than quadrature so it is faster than -gllamm- in most cases.
Hope this helps.

I'm thinking this can maybe be done in GLLAMM. Are there alternatives. Also, I'm being asked to estimate models and I'm not sure we have sufficient data. The response variable has 3 categories, sample size is 200, and there are 24 repeated measurements of the response variable. Any thoughts on how to approach this would be much appreciated.
