COURSE: Data Management and Analysis using PASW Statistics (SPSS)

PASW Statistics (formerly SPSS, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is a data management and analysis package used extensively in health research in WA.

It is available in hospitals, universities, government and other organisations. It is possible to 'teach yourself' with perseverance, practice and a good learning guide.

However, most people find it useful to start with short course that demonstrates the features of the package and allows them to practice their skills with the support of an expert user. Course outline

This two-day course provides an introduction to data management and statistical analysis for the novice PASW Statistics user. It is a combination of some expert lectures and lots of 'hands-on' practice with plenty of support available if required. The presenters bring together considerable expertise and experience in health-related research using PASW Statistics and as such can share with you the 'tips and traps'.

Most of the course makes use of excellent pull-down menus. However, participants will also be introduced to writing and saving syntax. The course would be most suited to those with little or no prior expertise in using PASW Statistics, especially students or researchers who would like to manage or analyse their own data using PASW Statistics but do not feel confident to get started.

Who should attend? Health professionals, health researchers and students interested in gaining an introduction to data management and analysis using a widely available and straightforward to use statistical analysis package.
