Abstract: The population of older adults in the United States is increasing in both size and racial and ethnic diversity. Research examining racial and ethnic disparities in care among older adults is essential to providing better quality care and improving patient outcomes. Yet, in the current climate of limited research funding, what efficient methods exist for gerontological nurse researchers to address these important health care issues among racially and ethnically diverse groups, groups typically underrepresented and difficult to access in research? We suggest data sciencea rigorous, interdisciplinary philosophy and method to acquire, manage, explore, and interpret large data setsusing existing clinical and population data (Brennan & Bakken, 2015).
