Tobias,I don't know about the precise Stata code for estimating a mod-med model, but I would caution you that if you are using a series of logistic regression steps to test for the presence of moderated mediation, you will need to account for the fact that the variance of the outcome depends on the model (and will change across equations as predictors and interactions terms are added) -- all this due to the identification constraint that error = pi-squared/3 = 3.29. This also means that coefficients will be recaled to respect the constraint, and will thus need to be standardized to allow for comparisons across equations. Note that the same issue applies to the probit case with error = 1.0. You may wish to see:
You may also wish to look at the -khb- program (available from SSC) and the papers related to it. You may need to write the authors to get copies of the papers, as I believe they have 2 pieces that are currently forthcoming and some others that are in progress.
