Can anyone show me how to meta analyse data from the following studies? Our analysis is a little different to traditional meta analyses in that the studies we are analysing aren't interventions & aren't assessing relationships between variables. Instead, at a single time point, they assess distress levels among participants with a particular cosmetic condition.
These studies report Means &SDs based on various distress measures. Our aim is to get a pooled mean and SD (across those studies using the same specific distress measure).
MetaXL and other softwares seems to require effect sizes which arent reported.
Thanks!
