In this section you will find material that helps you to learn software and statistics related to the work you do in your research at CAMH.
Since 2016 we have had frequent series of SPSS workshops. These workshops are delivered in person, in the CAMH computer lab. They expanded from the initial introductory courses to the current series that inovlves more than 10 different topics of interest to CAMH researchers.
To the extent of possible, we will try to make available here the material of those workshops, or online versions of them.
SPSS is probably the most popular software for Statistical Analysis at CAMH, and one that is accessible to researchers. The material available here will allow you to have a first and basic experience with SPSS, from opening the software, to importing data, doing some simple data cleaning and data analysis tasks. The material is currently in PDF format but it is in our priority list to have it also in video format.

In order for your data analysis to be reproducible, you need to keep a record of all you did. Ideally, that means everything from reading the initial dataset to your published results. Doing data cleaning and data analysis using script is the perfect way to make your research reproducible.
SPSS Syntax here does not mean SPSS programming. We just want you to know that is easy to do anything in SPSS using Syntax, and get you comfortable with it. As such, this course is very introductory, we don't expect you to have a high level of SPSS or programing knowledge in order to understand it. We do expect that you know SPSS at the introductory level, that you already know how to do some basica analysis using the point & click menu.
Here you will find a collection of videos and auxiliary material to help you get started with R.
