Download or read book Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions written by Julian P. T. Higgins and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2008-11-24 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare providers, consumers, researchers and policy makers are inundated with unmanageable amounts of information, including evidence from healthcare research. It has become impossible for all to have the time and resources to find, appraise and interpret this evidence and incorporate it into healthcare decisions. Cochrane Reviews respond to this challenge by identifying, appraising and synthesizing research-based evidence and presenting it in a standardized format, published in The Cochrane Library (www.thecochranelibrary.com). The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions contains methodological guidance for the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane intervention reviews. Written in a clear and accessible format, it is the essential manual for all those preparing, maintaining and reading Cochrane reviews. Many of the principles and methods described here are appropriate for systematic reviews applied to other types of research and to systematic reviews of interventions undertaken by others. It is hoped therefore that this book will be invaluable to all those who want to understand the role of systematic reviews, critically appraise published reviews or perform reviews themselves.

Download or read book Meta Analysis for Explanation written by Thomas D. Cook and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1992-04-27 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social science research often yields conflicting results: Does juvenile delinquent rehabilitation work? Is teenage pregnancy prevention effective? In an effort to improve the value of research for shaping social policy, social scientists are increasingly employing a powerful technique called meta-analysis. By systematically pulling together findings of a particular research problem, meta-analysis allows researchers to synthesize the results of multiple studies and detect statistically significant patterns among them. Meta-Analysis for Explanation brings exemplary illustrations of research synthesis together with expert discussion of the use of meta-analytic techniques. The emphasis throughout is on the explanatory applications of meta-analysis, a quality that makes this casebook distinct from other treatments of this methodology. The book features four detailed case studies by Betsy Jane Becker, Elizabeth C. Devine, Mark W. Lipsey, and William R. Shadish, Jr. These are offered as meta-analyses that seek both to answer the descriptive questions to which research synthesis is traditionally directed in the health and social sciences, and also to explore how a more systematic method of explanation might enhance the policy yield of research reviews. To accompany these cases, a group of the field's leading scholars has written several more general chapters that discuss the history of research synthesis, the use of meta-analysis and its value for scientific explanation, and the practical issues and challenges facing researchers who want to try this new technique. As a practical resource, Meta-Analysis for Explanation guides social scientists to greater levels of sophistication in their efforts to synthesize the results of social research. "This is an important book...[it is] another step in the continuing exploration of the wider implications and powers of meta-analytic methods." —Contemporary Psychology

Download or read book The Impact of Tone at the Top and Control Mechanisms on the Objectivity of Internal Auditor Judgment written by Zhe Wang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects of tone at the top and control mechanisms on the objectivity of internal auditors' judgments. Prior empirical evidence suggests that employees' judgments can be influenced by top management through the tone at the top of the organisation. As employees, internal auditors also make judgments within the ethical climate - the tone at the top created by management. Given the important role of internal auditors in ensuring effective corporate governance, this thesis first investigates whether the quality of the tone at the top influences the objectivity of internal auditors' judgments on management-related fraud risk and internal control weaknesses. This thesis then investigates whether bias in internal auditors' judgments under a poor tone at the top can be mitigated by coordination between internal and external auditors, or by a high quality audit committee. This thesis includes two studies. The first study examines the objectivity of internal auditors' fraud risk assessments. The findings from an experiment involving 64 internal auditors suggest that internal auditors are more sceptical when the tone at the top is poor. The results of the coordination between internal and external auditors suggest that the existence of such coordination can be used as an effective mechanism to mitigate the influence of a poor tone on internal auditors' fraud risk assessments. The second study investigates the objectivity of internal auditors' internal control evaluations. The results from an experiment involving 80 internal auditors suggest that internal auditors' internal control evaluations are biased towards the management's favour under a poor tone at the top. The results of the quality of the audit committee indicate that the influence of a poor tone at the top on internal auditors' internal control evaluations can be mitigated by an effective audit committee with a high level of independence and expertise.
