Q: Where can I get help on how to use STAT!Ref?
While on this site you can go to our Support page where you will find PDFs with title and product information, video presentations, and product tutorials which will help you with your use of STAT!Ref. If you are in STAT!Ref Online then the Help link in the toolbar has answers to most questions on how to use STAT!Ref Online. When you open the help page you will see the help section divided into 3 categories:
Client Manager Help
Statistician Help
User Help
Different levels of help are available based on your own user level. The Client Manager is the person within your institution who manages your STAT!Ref account. The Client Manager has access to the group's properties page -- they may view all of the group's properties and may configure username accounts as well as access the usage reports that Statisticians use. The Statistician may generate and view statistics reports, but does not have access to group properties or username accounts. Users have the default access level for STAT!Ref Online which they can use to find answers by using search, the table of contents, and the dictionary. Users do not have access to account management or to statistics reports. If you cannot find the answers you are looking for please contact us with your questions.
Q: How does STAT!Ref AI work?
Q: Are user interactions with the STAT!Ref AI tool used to train LLMs?
Q: Which browsers are supported?
Officially supported browser versions are major version minus 1; e.g.
*Microsoft Edge with IE mode. So STAT!Ref supports IE 11 and later (officially). Unofficially, we do strive to maintain functionality for older browsers which requires some functionality to degrade as gracefully as possible.
Chrome (Windows, Mac, Linux)
Microsoft Edge (Windows)
Firefox (Windows, Mac, Linux)
IE (Windows)
Safari (Mac & Windows)
*Please note that the Internet Explorer (IE) 11 desktop application will end support for certain operating systems starting June 15, 2022. Customers are encouraged to move to Microsoft Edge with IE mode. IE mode enables backward compatibility and will be supported through at least 2029.
Q: How do I access STAT!Ref titles on a mobile device?
You can access the full mobile-optimized platform directly through your mobile browser and experience the same features available on desktop.
For an even more streamlined experience, you can add the platform to your device as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This allows it to function like a native app, opening in its own dedicated window without visible browser elements such as the address bar or navigation buttons. The result is a clean, full-screen interface that provides complete access to the platform, including AI features.
To install:
- Android (Chrome): Open the Chrome menu and select “Add to Home Screen.”
- iOS (Safari): Tap the Share button and choose “Add to Home Screen.”
Once added, an app icon will appear on your device labeled TDS Health (with the blue TDS Health icon by default). Tapping the icon launches the platform just like any other app. Users will log in and access the platform as they normally would.
Q: How do I know when a title or resource updates?
Our new titles, new editions and supplemental updates are done seamlessly behind the scenes as soon as possible after the information is released to us from the various publishers.

I am again sending on STAT!Ref Evidence Alerts to my users. I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate this service. The "comments from clinical raters" is invaluable. That is the bottom line for me - good comments, I send the info to my clinicians; negative comments, I don't waste their time. The presentation of the data is excellent - easy to read - not so busy that it is distracting. This service saves my users a lot of time, and gets the useable evidence to them in quick time!
