Key features of the book include:

• interweaving the teaching of statistical concepts with examples from publicly available social and health science data and literature excerpts;
• thoroughly integrating the teaching of statistical theory with the teaching of data access, processing, and analysis in Stata;
• recognizing debates and critiques of the origins and uses of quantitative methods.
