Hello,

I am currently running a regression on my data set and would like to control for the effects of several variables. I cannot, however, figure out how to do this. I have run the regression using the three key variables involved (two predictor variables and one outcome) but I want to control for age, race, etc. I am using SPSS version 14. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Nadia

Create new variables that list the age, race, etc. of each case (row) and include them in the model - these are often called "covariates."

The effects of the independent variables will then be estimated, controlling for the covariates.
