Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary data, also called archival data, are existing data collected by agencies for other purposes (McKenzie et al., Neiger & Thackeray, 2017; Prince, Dake, & Ward, 2017). Examples include birth and death records; census data; prevalence data on diseases, disability, illness, injury, and risk; demographic data; social indicators; and special surveys and reports. Secondary data are generally easy to obtain and particularly useful in the exploratory phase of the needs assessment process to determine what is already known about an issue.
