Interested in conducting secondary data analysis?
Over the past three decades, ICR researchers have conducted numerous studies and generated rich qualitative, survey, and mixed methods data on a wide range of topics. This includes cross-sectional, longitudinal, narrative, social network, intervention evaluation, and other kinds of data. Areas of research include health, mental health, substance use/abuse, HIV/AIDS risk and prevention, and health disparities across the age spectrum in the U.S. and internationally. Secondary data analysis can potentially explore many important questions not examined as part of the parent study. Some data may have restrictions on sharing outside of the research team.
