Iverson, Barbara K.; Levy, Susan R.

Journal of School Health, v52 n4 p234-239 Apr 1982

Meta analysis refers to the synthesis of research findings in which results of multiple studies are compared, contrasted, and reanalyzed. Benefits of meta analysis to the field of health research include: (1) the transformation of diverse findings into a common metric; and (2) improvement of research techniques and reports. (JN)
