Course Objectives
Meta-analysis has become an indispensable tool in various fields of knowledge, such as health, social sciences, education, and economics. By allowing the integration of multiple studies on the same topic, this methodology improves the accuracy of estimates and strengthens the reliability of scientific conclusions. Given the growing volume of academic publications and the need for decision-making based on robust evidence, mastering the technique of meta-analysis has become a crucial advantage for researchers, healthcare professionals, data analysts, and others interested in systematic reviews.
With a practical and applied approach, this course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively use meta-analysis in their fields of expertise. In particular, it aims to equip trainees with a set of strategies and tools that enable them to aggregate the results of two or more independent studies on the same research question, combining their findings into a summary measure.
