I don't think anyone can help you unless you first describe the structure of
the data. I worry that you are analyzing some sort of panel structure and have
not yet accounted for autocorrelation in monthly measures.

This suggests you need to talk to someone with deeper statistical background,
and that's not really what r-help bills itself as providing. Is this part of
an education experience or task? Do you have a supervisor that could be
consulted?
