Session 1: Getting Started

Are you interested in using secondary (existing or archived) data to build your career in mental health research? You likely know that collecting original research data is a lengthy and expensive process, but you might not know that secondary data is a valuable alternative.

1. An overview of the strengths and drawbacks of different types of secondary data sources, including surveys, electronic health records, and medical claims data
2. Highlight valuable data options for mental health research
3. Practical examples to help you get started
