| Meta-Analysis: Combining the Results of Multiple Studies — Professional Development Continuing Education Course | |||
| ASA , Health Policy Statistics Section | |||
| Meta-analysis enables researchers to synthesize the results of multiple studies designed to determine the effect of a treatment, device or test. The information explosion as well as the movement toward the requirement of evidence to support policy decisions has promoted the use of meta-analysis in all scientific disciplines. Statisticians play a major role in meta-analysis because analyzing data with few studies and many variables is difficult. In this workshop, we introduce the major principles and techniques of statistical analysis of meta-analytic data. Examples of published meta-analyses in medicine and the social sciences will be used to illustrate the various methods. | |||
