The Oregon State University Summer Institute on Research Methodology is sponsored by the College of Health and Human Sciences Methodology Core and the Center for Healthy Aging Research.

About the Summer Institute

Introductory and advanced coursework using Mplus and Stata will be offered during the Institute. Participants in the Stata session are expected to be comfortable with multiple regression and participants in the Mplus session should also have some familiarity with factor analysis. No knowledge of Mplus or Stata is assumed. These two courses can be taken independently or combined. Applied examples will be used throughout the workshops, with hands-on computer analysis experience.

The seminars will be led by Alan C. Acock who is the University Distinguished Professor for Family Research and the Knudson Chair for Family Policy & Research at Oregon State University. He has a leading book on Stata and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Structural Equation Modeling. Dr. Isaac Washburn, from the Oregon Social Learning Center and Dr. Shannon Wanless, from the Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning at the University of Virginia will be co-instructors for the workshop.
