Abstract:	The development of easy-to-use general-purpose statistical software packages increases the range of topics that can be taught to biomedical researchers with limited backgrounds in statistics or mathematics. The range of topics that can be effectively taught to this audience will be discussed and experiences shared. We will also debate the strengths and weaknesses of the different software packages that can be used for this instruction. Packages that will be discussed include Stata, SPSS, R, and SAS.
