title: Secondary analysis: a method for learning research activities.
abstract: Secondary analysis may be an efficient, effective method of providing graduate students in nursing with experience in specified stages of the research process. The availability of archived data sets is increasing as are the numbers of researchers who recognize the value of sharing data with others. Thus, the development of nursing as a research-based practice can be enhanced by tapping into this source of data and asking relevant research questions that address issues in nursing.
