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.
