Variables related to baseline demographic, physical, cognitive, and psychological functioning were examined as predictors of missingness to identify auxiliary variables. Secondary data analysis was conducted using data from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study (ACTIVE). Confidence in the sustained impact of the intervention group was examined using two types of MNAR models (i.e., selection and pattern mixture modeling frameworks).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using auxiliary variables, there were slight changes in the pattern of results of the cognitive training intervention, suggesting that missing data was contributing to slight increases and decreases in model estimates, but not creating major changes in the interpretation of the trial. The analysis under MNAR models did not suggest any systemic bias in the study outcomes due to missing data but highlighted potential differences in those with complete data compared to those with incomplete data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The current study demonstrates how to expand examination of missingness and triangulate multiple methods for investigating bias under MAR and MNAR.
