Statistical Analysis with Control and treatment group

[Andreas Klinar]

I would like some advice on what statistical analysis to use to test my hypothesis. I have two groups and several (about 10) control variables, which are mostly on a scale from 0-6.
I thought a linear regression would fit, but how do I include the difference between the two groups?

Thanks in advance.

how do I include the difference between the two groups?

You could use a Stata's factor variable notation for the grouping variable. If you're fitting a linear regression model, then the regression coefficient for the grouping variable will be the difference in adjusted means between the two groups. Something like the following, perhaps.

regress outcome_variable i.grouping_variable i.(<categorical_"control"_variables>) c.(<continuous_"control"_variables>)
