Making sense of systematic review outcomes: an introduction to meta-analysis- Prof Peter Bower
This session is being carried out as part of STAND-Indonesia; an NIHR funded global health research group on sustainable care for depression/anxiety in Indonesia.
Professor Peter Bower currently leads the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research, which is part of the NIHR School for Primary Care Research. His research focuses on mental health, multimorbidity, and the evaluation of innovations in health service delivery.
In this session, he will provide a basic introduction to meta-analysis, exploring what it is, and why we do it during systematic reviews. Secondly, using example papers, he will support attendees to work through papers to extract the right data and structure it for analysis - exploring the sorts of challenges that often occur in the process.
Our project builds on strong partnerships between the University of Manchester, the University of Indonesia and Manchester Metropolitan University. It directly addresses two research priorities identified through collaboration with local Indonesian community groups. It is supported by the Indonesia Workforce Council at the Ministry of Health, and the Directors of Mental Health and Primary Care in Indonesia. Our group aims to improve health and productivity in Indonesia by increasing the availability and accessibility of evidence-based treatments for adults living with anxiety and depression.
