st: calculating p value from -proportions-

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

Hi all,

I'm using Stata 11.2 and calculating the proportions in a number of variables e.g. male/female, screen-detected/symptomatic. My data are set up as individual patients rather than counts. Using -proportions-  obviously gives me the proportions with CIs. However, is it possible to retrieve p-values from this, or another command as I would like to report p-values is possible? I've taken a look at prtest for instance, but I cant equate these examples to my data.

Best wishes

Tim
