Stata Programming Examples for Complex Survey Data Analysis

Survey Weights • Variance Estimation • Domain Analysis • National Complex Survey Data

About This Collection

Unlike the SAS course materials on CodeHurry, which are organized into structured lessons, this Stata section provides a collection of project-based code examples from applied research and data analysis. It is intended as a practical programming reference for researchers, analysts, and programmers working with complex survey data.

Programming Examples

svydescribe

The Stata program produces a description of the survey design for the NSDUH pooled multiple-year dataset where year = 2012. svydescribe is a Stata command that displays information about a survey's sampling design after the survey has been defined with svyset. This command helps verify that the survey design has been specified correctly before conducting complex survey analyses.

svy: total

The Stata program estimates the survey-weighted total number of past-year heroin initiates (RECHER2=1) for each survey year from 2002 through 2012 using the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).

stcox

This Stata program performs a survey-weighted Cox proportional hazards analysis to examine factors associated with heroin initiation among individuals at risk, including prior oxycontin use and other substance-use characteristics using the NSDUH.
