Practice guide demonstrates meta-analysis application worksheet integration in mental health settings, highlighting practical tools to bridge the clinical science-practice gap.
Despite efforts to incorporate evidence-based practice into mental health settings, there has been inconsistent success doing so. Several barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice have been identified, including limitations in time and statistical training. One promising approach to further bridge the science-practice gap is the greater use of meta-analytic studies to clarify the magnitude of treatment effects and to understand components of treatments that are more effective within specific populations.
