Support materials for
An Introduction to Stata for Health Researchers

You can download the datasets, do-files, and unofficial commands that were used in An Introduction to Stata for Health Researchers from within Stata using the net command.

It is suggested in the book that the datasets and do-files be downloaded to the directory C:\docs\ishr, but you can store them where you wish. To download the files to C:\docs\ishr, type 

      . cd C:\docs
      . mkdir ishr
      . cd ishr 

      . net from http://www.stata-press.com/data/ishr/
      . net install ishr-ado 
      . net get ishr-data
      . net get ishr-do

If you do not have an Internet connection from within Stata, you can download one of the following files:

ishr.zip PKZIP format, 157 K
ishr.tar.Z Unix tar.Z format 211 K

We suggest that you create a new directory and copy the materials there.
