Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Secondary data play an increasingly important role in epidemiology and public health research and practice; examples of secondary data sources include national surveys such as the BRFSS and NHIS, claims data for the Medicare and Medicaid systems, and public vital statistics records. Although a wealth of secondary data is available, it is not always easy to locate and access appropriate data to address a research or policy question. This practical guide circumvents these difficulties by providing an introduction to secondary data and issues specific to its management and analysis, followed by an enumeration of major sources of secondary data in the United States. Entries for each data source include the principal focus of the data, years for which it is available, history and methodology of the data collection process, and information about how to access the data and supporting materials, including relevant details about file structure and format. This is the only book to provide both a practical introduction to secondary data analysis and a list of major sources of secondary data in the United States. Entries for each data source include the focus of the data, years available, data collection process used, and directions about how to access the data and supporting materials.
