UK Stata Conference 2024 from Stata Users Group

Abstract: In this talk, I will use personal recollections to revisit the challenges many public health researchers have faced since the birth of Stata in 1985. I will discuss how, from the 1990s onwards, the increasing demands for data management and analysis were met by Stata developers and the broader Stata community, particularly Michael Hills. Additionally, I will review how Stata's expansion in scope and capacity with each new version has enhanced our ability to train new generations of medical statisticians and epidemiologists. Finally, I will reflect on current and future challenges.
