BROWN BAG SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP MEETING V: RESEARCH SYNTHESIS METHODS FOR PREVENTION SCIENCE

The purpose of this SIG is to provide an opportunity to network and discuss issues related to research synthesis methods in the field of prevention science. In particular, the SIG meeting will focus on recent methodological advances and innovations in the methods used to conduct, interpret, report, and disseminate research syntheses. Topics to be discussed will include: advanced meta-analytic methods for complex interventions (e.g., individual participant data meta-analysis, network meta-analysis); rating confidence in findings from meta-analyses of complex interventions; research synthesis software; and other recent methodological innovations. The SIG will provide a valuable networking and professional development resource for prevention scientists interested in research synthesis methodology.
