    * 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

      model to complete data.
    * No prior knowledge of missing data methods is assumed
    * Participants should bring their own laptop computer with Stata
