In case there is any doubt (only the .uk makes it explicit) let me underline that this is Cambridge, England, UK, and not Cambridge, MA, or any other place by the same name.

          o the covariates (with a focus on observational studies)

    * Demonstrates the steps involved in carrying out relevant analyses
      in Stata 

    * Give participants an awareness of the assumptions underlying
      various analysis approaches and their limitations


Target Audience

    * Mental health researchers needing to analyse incomplete data
    * Should be familiar with running Stata from the command line (i.e.
      not using menus) at least to the level of fitting a regression
      model to complete data.
    * No prior knowledge of missing data methods is assumed
    * Participants should bring their own laptop computer with Stata
