Course description

This course aims at introducing students to the fundamental elements of the statistical software Stata. Motivating examples arising from health-related research will be used to demonstrate how to use the programming language. Learning activities will give students the possibility to learn Stata the hard yet easier way – that is – problem, code, and run.

Prior knowledge in any software, e.g. Stata, R or SAS is strongly recommended.
