This course is a practical, step-by-step guide to data analysis in Stata using National Family Health Survey (NFHS-India) data. It is designed for beginners, students, and researchers who want to learn Stata for real-world survey data analysis, especially using DHS/NFHS datasets. The course begins with the basics of Stata, including data management, data cleaning, variable creation, and descriptive statistics. You will learn how to import data from Excel, and Stata files, handle missing values, label variables, and prepare datasets for analysis.
After building a strong foundation, the course moves to NFHS-India data analysis, where you will work with real survey data. You will learn how to understand NFHS data structure, select relevant variables, and create key variables such as outcomes and exposures. You will then perform essential statistical analysis in Stata, including descriptive analysis, data visualization, bivariate analysis, and regression models such as logistic and linear regression. You will also learn how to interpret odds ratios, confidence intervals, and p-values for research reporting.
