Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) is a powerful computer program for meta-analysis. The program combines ease of use with a wide array of computational options and sophisticated graphics.


"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is, literally speaking, the most comprehensive and user friendly metaanalysis “package” program. It excellently accommodates both advanced and beginning users’ needs at the same time and different levels of needs over time. Among numerous laudable features, this package program provides the most comprehensive and advanced solution for testing publication bias. Using Excel‐like interfaces, moderator analyses are very easy to do! It would be a great loss for any competent researcher and practitioner to overlook this impressive package program."

"Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis is a state‐of‐the art, versatile, and user‐friendly program that has met all my research needs for conducting meta‐analyses. The supporting documentation is first rate and the support staff are extremely helpful. I highly recommend this program for anyone engaged in metaanalytic investigations."

Steven Taylor, PhD - Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia
