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.
