Ethical and Representational Issues in Qualitative Secondary Analysis
Abstract
Although secondary analysis holds considerable promise for optimizing the health knowledge that can be constructed in relation to existing qualitative databases, methodological developments to guide design and evaluation of this research have not been fully explored in the qualitative research literature. This article extends preliminary methodological explorations to address two specific concerns arising from secondary analysis: ethics and representation. Because secondary research creates the potential for exaggerating certain errors in both ethics and representation, the risks associated with such analyses must be considered in the light of the opportunities. Preliminary strategies for helping secondary qualitative researchers to articulate and resolve the representational and ethical problems that may arise from their work are offered.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
