Systematic reviews and meta-analysis

30 Novembro 2022, 14:00 • Rita Sousa

(class lectured by Prof. Fernando-Ferreira Santos)

Overview:

In this seminar, we will discuss a) the typology of literature reviews and syntheses (e.g., systematic/non-systematic, narrative/quantitative) and the advantages of systematic reviews and meta-analyses; and b) the strength of empirical evidence as function of the quality of studies and respective methodological design. We will then focus on the statistical procedures for the estimation, meta-analytic combination, and analysis of the heterogeneity of effect sizes. These features will be complemented with practical exercises.

Program:

  1. Introduction to systematic research synthesis
    • Typology of literature reviews
    • Systematic research synthesis and meta-analysis
    • Assessment of strength of evidence and study quality
  2. Meta-analysis
    • Statistical analysis and effect sizes
    • Meta-analysis: combination of effect sizes
    • Meta-analysis: heterogeneity analysis
