Doing Secondary Analysis

Beschreibung

At a time when funding for primary data collection was increasingly constrained, the secondary analysis of high-quality government surveys offered the social scientist an unrivalled opportunity. Originally published in 1988, this volume provided a guide which moves through every stage of 'doing secondary analysis'.
