Meta-analysis for health equity: high-dimensionality methods for high-dimensionality impacts
Exploring how modern meta-analytic methods can help address questions around health inequities.
Meta-analysis has had an uncomfortable relationship with the need to generate evidence relevant to health inequities. Drawing on current and ongoing work, I will describe how modern meta-analytic methods can be used to address questions of relevance to health equity, drawing on evidence of intervention effectiveness to estimate how interventions are—or are not—equally effective across groups. These methods move beyond ‘one at a time’ moderator analyses to establish for whom and to what degree interventions are differentially effective.
