Roger Newson's -powercal- at SSC will also estimated minimum detectable risks. It's helpful that the paired t-test
reduces to the problem from two to one samples.

Hi Lars,

It may not be Stata, but you could also take a look at G*Power.  It's free and can be used to calculate various aspects of statistical power (e.g., required sample size to detect a given effect size, minimum detectable effect size, etc...).  It doesn't calculate these sizes for SEM or MLM, but for most other models you can get quick and easy answers.
