About the MetaCIH Collaborative Network
The MetaCIH Collaborative Network data repository is funded by the National Institutes of Health (1R24AT012845-01) and maintained by an international collaboration of researchers with expertise in complementary and integrative health (CIH) interventions and review methodologies.
The overall purposes of MetaCIH Collaborative Network are to:
- Curate a living data repository to drive high-quality evidence synthesis to advance the science of CIH research.
- Foster resource sharing, collaboration, and knowledge exchange on both content and methodologies for evidence synthesis of CIH interventions.
- Support knowledge translation from evidence synthesis to real-world impact.
The lead investigators of this project include:
- Dr. Shufang Sun, Brown University School of Public Health
- Dr. Eric Loucks, Brown University School of Public Health
- Dr. Simon Goldberg, University of Wisconsin-Madison
The technological support for this project is provided by Metapsy.
MetaCIH Collaborative Network offers open access to meta-analytic databases focused on varied domains of CIH interventions.
Supported by Metapsy, MetaCIH includes several tools that try to make the collected evidence more accessible for everyone.
Using the online meta-analysis tool, analyses of the databases can be run using just a few clicks. Do you want to know if meditation practice is effective for postpartum depression? How effective are internet-delivered mindfulness interventions? These and many more questions can be examined in seconds using the online meta-analysis tool.
Using metapsyTools, state-of-the-science meta-analysis methods can be applied conveniently using just a few lines of code.
