Karen: GLM supports the POLYNOMIAL option for repeated measures. The first polynomial is the linear trend (positive means rising; negative = declining); 2nd polynomial is quadratic, etc. for 1 fewer trends than you have points available. One can chose equal spacing between time points, or specify the spacing.

I nosed around through the menus, including GLM, and could not find a way to test for a linear trend in repeated measures. I have six contiguous measures of bone density for 29 people that I want to look for a linear trend in. I don't have the time series module. Thanks.
