qestionnaire data analysis

[Dr Mark Watson]

Dear netters

I am about to begin data entry/ data analysis (statistical) from a
medical questionnaire.  The questionnaire consists of both open ended
and closed ended questions.  I need to 1) enter the data from the
questionnaires and 2) Perform statistical type analyses of this data.

I have no previous experience in this area but have access to SPSS. I
would like to know if this is the most appropriate package to use or if
there are better / easier ways of doing it.  All suggestions will be
appreciated

Please reply to my e-mail account
