NURS 8875 Secondary Analysis of Health-Related Datasets

In this course, students apply concepts from earlier methods and statistics courses to the secondary analysis of large datasets to answer health-related research questions of interest. Students may choose to work with one of the datasets available for use in the course or, with permission, work with a faculty member on one of his/her datasets. Students are expected to: a) delineate a research question; b) select an appropriate dataset and analytic approach to answer the question; c) execute the analysis; d) discuss the strengths and limitations of the approach and the results; and e) disseminate findings through publications or presentations.
