Making Secondary Data Work for You: Innovative Methods for Leveraging National Violent Death Data

Secondary data offers powerful opportunities for research—but it also comes with constraints. How can scholars push beyond these limitations? Join experts Millan AbiNader, PhD, MSW, Laurie Graham, PhD, MSW, and Julie Kafka, PhD, MPH for a dynamic discussion on innovative methods for analyzing intimate partner violence-related fatalities using the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS).
They’ll share how they’ve used triangulation, qualitative content analysis, and natural language processing to uncover insights that traditional methods often miss—and how these strategies can be adapted to other understudied issues and populations.
