Supersizing Meta-Analysis of Psychological Interventions🔗

The following article “Supersizing Meta-Analysis of Psychological Interventions: Findings of a ‘Meta-Analytic Research Domain’ Across World Regions and Twelve Mental Disorders” introduces the technical infrastructure of the “Metapsy” meta-analytic research domain, an ecosystem of open databases and tailored software that allows for rapid evidence generation. We also employ this infrastructure ourselves to conduct what we believe to be the most comprehensive meta-analysis in psychotherapy research to date.

We find that psychological intervention is effective across a wide range of mental health problems, including in low and middle income countries. The article also discusses ways to improve the population-level impact of psychotherapies on a global scale, as well as further potentials of the MARD concept.
