This is a series of workshops designed to introduce participants to the Stata software. No prior experience with Stata is required. The sections are:
Section 1: The Basics of Stata – Interacting with Stata and working with data sets. (2/22 2-3:30)
Section 2: Data Management – The basics of maintaining and exploring a data set. (2/24 2-3:30)
Section 3: Data Manipulation – Creating and modifying variables and other ways of manipulating your data. (2/26 2-3:30)
You do not need to attend all sessions; however, the sessions build on each other and it will be assumed you are familiar with the material in earlier sessions. The workshop materials can be found at

It is strongly encouraged that you have Stata available on your local computer, though not required. You may access Stata through midesktop (
