Answer to Question 1

Secondary data is often longitudinal rather than cross-sectional. Longitudinal data is collected at two or more points in time whereas cross-sectional data is collected at one point in time. Longitudinal data offers the added advantage of allowing the researcher to examine trends such as age at first marriage, over time. Increasingly, both longitudinal and cross-sectional publications provide the reader with colorful pie charts and other figures that are easy to read and understand.
