Secondary analysis refers to studies in which researchers analyze previously collected data—either quantitative or qualitative. Survey research examines people's characteristics, behaviors, intentions, and opinions by asking them to answer questions. Outcomes research (a subset of health services research) is undertaken to document the quality and effectiveness of health care and nursing services. In methodologic research, the investigator is concerned with the development, validation, and assessment of methodologic tools or strategies.
