This advanced introduction to STATA is perfect if you’ve opened STATA a few times and want to build your confidence with coding. We’ll go over the STATA environment, how to use do-files, and key commands for importing, organizing, and analyzing data.

You’ll get hands-on practice with provided files, so you can try things out as we go. By the end, you’ll be able to navigate STATA comfortably, run basic descriptive stats, and even tackle simple regressions for your own projects.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Navigate the STATA environment
  2. Use STATA DO-files to save and organize your work.
  3. Import data from Excel or CSV
  4. Run basic descriptive stats 
  5. Run a simple regression (if time permits)

Pre-Requisites/ Notes:

  1. While this workshop doesn’t assume extensive STATA knowledge, familiarity with basic data tasks—like opening a dataset or running simple commands—will help you get the most out of the session. If you’re newer to STATA and up for a bit of a challenge, you’re welcome to join—we’ll do our best to help you keep up!
  2. The workshop uses STATA for PC, and there are a few minor commands and functionalities different in STATA for Mac and we will go over those if needed.
  3. Lab computers have STATA access; if using your own laptop, ensure STATA is installed and ready to use.
