Comprehensive Meta-Analysis

software image

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 v.2 is the definitive leading software for computing, presenting and analysing results of meta‐analyses. The programme provides beginners as well as advanced researchers meta‐analysis opportunities, unmatched by competing programmes. Computing effect sizes, combining across various types of outcomes, conducting moderators analyses, and presenting these rather complex analyses in less than five stages, could not have been more user‐friendly."

"I have used Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis software within a course on research methods for doctoral students in nursing. With only a 90‐minute introduction, students were ready to begin data entry and to conduct basic analyses. Both they and I were pleased with its intuitive interface and with the clarity of its output. Additionally, Biostat, Inc. has provided excellent support in our efforts to employ the software in a classroom setting."
