| Summary: | We detail the challenges we experienced in a secondary analysis of program evaluation data. This case study covers how data were initially collected to evaluate a program for Parkinson's disease in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and how these data were repurposed for an article focused on healthcare management. We have three sections, organized by learning outcome. The first section details Institutional Review Board issues in planning the research. The second section details survey development for the program evaluation and the challenges encountered regarding designing the survey for a vulnerable patient population. The third section details how a new study was designed from secondary analysis of these data. We discuss how we developed our framework of switching behavior to re-conceptualize the survey data, as well as administrative data that we collected to supplement analyses, and how we decided to use the survey and administrative database measures over different time periods. This case study is most useful for fellows and graduate students who are considering repurposing data for new analyses. |
