General Description

The grief-psyctr dataset is a meta-analytic research domain (MARD) which is part of the Metapsy project. The dataset contains study information and effect size data of randomized trials on psychological interventions for prolonged grief across all age groups. The date of the last search update is provided here.

This dataset includes psychological interventions (CBT, writing therapy, dual-process model treatment, psychoeducational interventions, etc) vs. control comparisons (e.g., waitlist, care as usual, other inactive controls). Effect sizes are provided for grief symptoms at post-test. When multiple instruments for complicated grief symptoms were reported within a study, one was selected based on the most frequently reported outcomes across the trials.

The dataset follows the Metapsy data standard. All included information has been independently extracted two researchers. Risk of bias ratings were conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool (Version 2).
