It will work fine, although with 12000 level-1 data points times 14
"level-0" responses = 170K effective GLLAMM observations and three
levels, it will probably take some three days to converge on an
average computer. You probably want to fit some sort of a MIMIC model
where you have three or so latent factors addressed by your 14 items;
and these factors are regressed on the demographic variables. I have
run something very similar with NHANES data, although at two levels
(items-patients).
