Data analysis short course
Two weeks, three evenings a week: from first import to publication-ready tables in Stata or R.
The data analysis short course is the fastest route from raw data to a results table you can defend. Over two weeks, participants learn to import, clean, describe and model a dataset in Stata or R, and to present results to journal standards. It is the most requested course at Sintieh Research Academy.
Who the data analysis short course is for
- Health professionals with a dataset from an audit, survey or thesis.
- Students who need to complete an analysis chapter.
- Anyone who has used Excel and wants a statistical package.
What the data analysis short course includes
- Six live sessions of two hours, recorded for revision.
- Import, cleaning and data management.
- Descriptive statistics, hypothesis tests and regression.
- Tables and figures that meet reporting guidelines.
- One-to-one feedback on your own dataset and a certificate.

Our standards
Every piece of work follows a written protocol and, where people are involved, ethical approval before data collection. We report to the partner as well as to a journal, and we follow ICMJE authorship rules. As a result, partners can rely on what Sintieh Research Academy delivers, and readers can check every claim against its source. In addition, all of our data analysis short course work is delivered by staff and fellows who have themselves published.
