This hands-on workshop offers a practical introduction to SPSS, one of the most widely used tools for statistical analysis. Whether you're new to data analysis or looking to build confidence in using SPSS, this session will guide you through the essentials—from importing and managing data to performing basic statistical tests.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is ideal for researchers and professionals across all disciplines who are new to SPSS and want to learn how to use it for basic data analysis and reporting. While the focus will be on a clinical example, the skills taught are applicable to a wide range of research areas.
By registering, you are consenting to the release of your name and email address to DSCRP for attendance purposes. Full attendance is expected.
Note: that this will be an in-person workshop held at St Lucia campus and you will need to have SPSS installed on your portable computer prior to the workshop. The installation procedure differs depending on whether you are staff or student, have a UQ or private computer, use Windows or a Mac. If you need to submit an IT request, please do so a few days before the workshop as we will not be able to support you on the morning.
