ABSTRACT Staller (2015) presented the challenge to qualitative researchers of valuing data that already exists and using it as a starting point to explore “whether there are questions which can be asked and answered using that evidence” (p. 732) as opposed to the traditional approach of beginning with research questions. A class of social work doctoral students learning qualitative methods assumed this challenge using published poetry written by male youth adjudicated for their problematic sexual behaviors in a creative writing class hosted by the Alabama Writers’ Forum in a secure facility in the southeastern United States. This article presents an innovative method of analyzing poetry written by a vulnerable population for non-research purposes as existing, secondary qualitative data. Situated within the field of arts-based research, we discuss secondary data in qualitative research, the process of developing and applying the method, as well as the ethical dilemmas that emerged in the process.

弱势群体作为二手数据创作的诗歌：方法论方法和考虑

摘要 Staller (2015) 向定性研究人员提出了一个挑战，即评估已经存在的数据并将其用作探索“是否存在可以使用该证据提出和回答的问题”（第 732 页）而不是从研究问题开始的传统方法。一群学习定性方法的社会工作博士生在阿拉巴马州作家论坛在美国东南部的一个安全设施举办的创意写作课程中，使用由男性青年撰写的已发表诗歌承担了这一挑战，这些诗歌因他们有问题的性行为而被裁定。本文提出了一种分析弱势群体为非研究目的而写的诗歌的创新方法，作为现有的二级定性数据。位于以艺术为基础的研究领域内，
