Special Interest Group Meeting XIII: 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. The SIG meeting will provide an opportunity for attendees to discuss recent methodological advances in and challenges associated with 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); challenges with data sharing for integrative syntheses; rating confidence in findings from meta-analyses of complex interventions; and other recent methodological or software innovations. The SIG will provide a valuable networking and professional development resource for prevention scientists interested in research synthesis methodology.
