title: Secondary analysis: expanding survey research by faculty members.
abstract: Secondary analysis is a valid, efficient, and effective method of research that is under-used by nurse researchers. It can be used effectively by beginning and advanced researchers among the nursing faculty members to expand survey research, and thus increase their research productivity. The benefits of secondary analysis, particularly in survey research, are many, but the researcher must be cognizant of the risks as well so that their effect can be minimized.
