Professional Development Computer Technology Workshop (CTW)
CE_31T: Meta-analysis using Stata (Added Fee)
About this session
This workshop will cover the use of Stata to perform meta-analysis. Meta-analysis (MA) is a statistical technique for combining the results from several similar studies. The workshop will provide a brief introduction to MA and will demonstrate how to perform MA in Stata 17. Stata's meta command offers full support for meta-analysis from computing various effect sizes and producing basic meta-analytic summary and forest plots to accounting for between-study heterogeneity and potential publication bias. A number of case studies demonstrating how to conduct an MA within Stata will be provided. No prior knowledge of Stata is required, but basic familiarity with meta-analysis will prove useful.
