Rather than looking at 'proportions', you might consider doing a
log-linear regression on the number of events using the denominators as
offsets.  This will also allow covariates.  The command glm will do
this, or you can use the poisson command.

I would like to see if there is any kind of trend over a 12 month
period.
I have rates (injuries/time) and their accompanying confidence  
intervals for each of the 12 months (ie 12 rates).
Would vwls be a good approach to look for a trend? Does vwls have any  
kind of eform option for the coefficients (since I took the log of all  
the variables)?
