Wouter van Ballegooijen , Josine Rawee , Christina Palantza , Clara Miguel , Mathias Harrer , Pim Cuijpers

General Description

The data-suicide-psyctr dataset is a meta-analytic research domain MARD) on psychotherapy for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. This MARD is part of the Metapsy project.

The dataset contains study information and effect size data of trials that report the effect of psychotherapy on suicidal ideation, suicide attempts (including self-harm leading to hospitalisation) or completed suicides. This dataset includes psychotherapy vs. control (‘psy vs ctr’) comparisons. Effect sizes are provided for outcomes at post-test. Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are different outcomes and are analysed separately.

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