Webinar: Getting Started with Secondary Analysis

Participants will hear about the key issues in secondary analysis as a method. The introductory session will briefly cover the pros and cons of reusing data and the importance of learning about the origins of your data. Quantitative and qualitative secondary analysis will be discussed with examples and issues of context, sampling and ethics will be raised.

This session is more conceptual than many of our other webinars, which are more suited to those who want a more practical introduction to our data.

The free webinar will consist of a 30 minute presentation followed by 20 minutes for questions.

In order to follow the content of the webinar attendees should already be familiar with the basic methods of qualitative or quantitative data research.
