Secondary data analysis: new perspective for adolescent research.
Adolescents are at high risk for preventable health problems, but realities of research funding and obtaining data from large samples make it difficult for many researchers to answer important questions. Secondary analysis of existing data sets is described as a reasonable alternative in spite of its limitations. Methods and available resources are identified along with suggestions for research priorities with adolescents.
