Ethical refers to respecting the time and resources ofothers required in collecting large data sets. The former point is particularly relevant to graduatestudents, as they are typically more constrained by both time and resources in their researchagendas.BackgroundHere we present how three researchers used one large data set (that included both qualitative andquantitative data) to meet their own qualitative research needs. First, we describe the originalresearch project associated with this data set, as well as the breadth of data within the data set.The
