2 Unit IV Journal Identify a specific academic, governmental, or commercial source of quantitative secondary data that could be used to solve the problem you stated in Part 2 of the Unit III assignment. To address the issue of gathering data from male participants beyond the age of 18, one potential solution is to utilize PubMed. PubMed is a reputable database that provides quantitative secondary data commonly utilized in academic research papers. The National Library of Medicine's PubMed database contains about 36 million citations for biomedical literature (PubMed, 2023). The citations are sourced from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online sources. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), founded PUB Med in 1996. PubMed is a supportive tool that facilitates the exploration and retrieval of scientific literature in the fields of biomedicine and life sciences, with the aim of improving global health at both the collective and individual levels (PubMed, 2023). Describe how you will obtain access to the raw data . Using PubMed, I will be able to locate several publications and reviews that are related to allegations of sexual abuse against men. One article titled "The Disclosure Experiences of Male Child Sexual Abuse Survivors (Gagnier, 2016)" provides statistical data on the disclosure procedure of 17 adult male child abuse survivors. Recordings of interviews conducted over the phone were used to compile the content. The phenomenological method and the interpretative description approach were the two qualitative methodologies that were utilized in this study by the researchers. The 2021 publication by Solberg et al. in Front Psychiatry, "What Do Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse Believe Will Facilitate Early Disclosure of Sexual Abuse," is another study available in PubMed. Even though this study covered both males and females, I am still

3 able to extract the quantitative secondary data that is specifically connected to males from this research. Explain why the data are suitable for addressing your research problem . The data obtained from PubMed is highly beneficial for my case study due to its easy accessibility, comprehensive nature, and cost-effectiveness. I would have access to a diverse array of data sourced from published academic papers, journals, and publications available on this platform. Given the potential challenges and time constraints, it would be highly advantageous to utilize secondary data for my case study instead of conducting a firsthand study. List the limitations of using the data. Quantitative secondary data is subject to a number of limitations. To begin, there is a possibility that the information will be biased in some way. In addition, there is a lack of extensive control over the quality of the data, which may have an impact on the credibility of the information. Another possibility is that the data are either out of date, inaccessible, or incomplete.
