Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

You can definitely proceed with logit (=logistic) regression. That's what I would recommend. You can include intervening and control variables. Path analysis is really a procedure to partition correlations among continuous variables into total, direct, and indirect components using linear regression. I don't believe the logic extends to logit regression. Have you found examples of path analysis with logit regressions?
