The value of secondary analysis of already existing data is increasingly recognised in the Irish and international academic communities.
This summer school is designed to offer in-depth and critical insight into the methods, practices and issues involved in analysis of secondary quantitative and qualitative data.
Participants will be acquainted - through workshops and practical sessions - with the different kinds of data sources are available for meaningful interpretation in studies designed to enhance the safety and wellbeing of children and young people in Ireland.
They will be familiarised with key datasets in the Irish context, which are available for further analysis, such as CSO official statistics, Growing Up in Ireland, HBSC survey, Health Atlas Ireland in order to better understand children and young people's lives.
Participants will also have the opportunity to reflect on and to discuss the ethical and other issues involved in mining existing data for research purposes.
They will be familiarised with data repositories and archives in Ireland, Northern Ireland and in Britain (e.g. Timescapes Archive of Longitudinal Qualitative Data) and will learn directly from researchers, who have extensive experience of data re-use while working on projects relating to children and young people' safety and wellbeing.
