Primary Data

Primary data is data that is collected by researchers first-hand from primary sources, using methods like observations, surveys, and interviews.

• Surveys (archived links)

• Interviews (archived links)

• Focus Groups

• Field Observations

Secondary Data

Secondary data is data gathered from second-hand studies, surveys, or experiments.
