I am a big fan of lavaan since it is more user-friendly compared with MPLUS to me.

I tried to use lavaan to analyze multilevel moderated mediation model with binary outcomes. However, according to the information available online, it seems that this cannot be handled by this package by far.

Can anyone help confirm whether my perception is accurate?

Thanks!

Correct, lavaan cannot yet accommodate multilevel discrete data.
