“…Only 4 reviews assessed attrition in primary outcome studies (Brosnan & Carr, 2000;Cormack & Carr, 2000;Farrington & Welsh, 2003;Woolfenden et al, 2003), but all 4 underestimated attrition (Littell, 2005(Littell, , 2006. This is likely due to the practice (articulated by Woolfenden and colleagues) of selecting the most recent report when there were multiple reports per study, instead of tracking attrition over time through different reports.…”

Evidence-based or biased? The quality of published reviews of evidence-based practices

Objective: To assess methods used to identify, analyze, and synthesize results of empirical research on intervention effects, and determine whether published reviews are vulnerable to various sources and types of bias.Methods: Study 1 examined the methods, sources, and conclusions of 37 published reviews of research on effects of a model program. Study 2 compared findings of one published trial with summaries of results of that trial that appeared in published reviews.Results: Study 1: Published reviews varied in terms of the transparency of inclusion criteria, strategies for locating relevant published and unpublished data, standards used to evaluate evidence, and methods used to synthesize results across studies. Most reviews relied solely on narrative analysis of a convenience sample of published studies. None of the reviews used systematic methods to identify, analyze, and synthesize results. Study 2: When results of a single study were traced from the original report to summaries in published reviews, three patterns emerged: a complex set of results was simplified, non-significant results were ignored, and positive results were over-emphasized. Most reviews used a single positive statement to characterize results of a study that were decidedly mixed. This suggests that reviews were influenced by confirmation bias, the tendency to emphasize evidence that supports a hypothesis and ignore evidence to the contrary.Conclusions: Published reviews may be vulnerable to biases that scientific methods of research synthesis were designed to address. This raises important questions about the validity of traditional sources of knowledge about "what works," and suggests need for a renewed commitment to using scientific methods to produce valid evidence for practice. Reviews of evidence-based practices 2The emphasis on evidence-based practice appears to have renewed interest in "what works" and "what works best for whom" in response to specific conditions, disorders, and psychosocial problems. Policy makers, practitioners, and consumers want to know about the likely benefits, potential harmful effects, and evidentiary status of various interventions (Davies, 2004;Gibbs, 2003). To address these issues, many reviewers have synthesized results of research on the impacts of psychosocial interventions. These reviews appear in numerous books and scholarly journals; concise summaries and lists of "what works" can be found on many government and professional organizations' websites.In the last decade there were rapid developments in the science of research synthesis, following publication of a seminal handbook on this topic (Cooper & Hedges, 1994). Yet, the practice of research synthesis (as represented by the proliferation of published reviews and lists of evidence-based practices) and the science of research synthesis have not been well-connected (Littell, 2005).In this article, I trace the development and dissemination of information about the efficacy and effectiveness of one of the most prominent evidence-based pract...

DescritoresMedicina baseada em evidências. Metanálise. Paradigma. Publicações periódicas. KeywordsEvidence-based medicine. Metaanalysis. Paradygm. Periodicals. ResumoO presente trabalho descreve o fenômeno da proliferação das rupturas paradigmáticas publicadas na literatura biomédica. É discutida a distorção que, com o passar das décadas, atribuiu um sentido oposto ao original proposto por Thomas Khun. Na sua grande maioria percebemos que essas pseudo-rupturas se relacionam meramente a detalhes técnicos ligados a contextos específicos. Destaca-se o caso da medicina baseada em evidências (MBE), anunciada como uma dessas rupturas, em cuja essência se reafirmam antigas concepções. Alguns equívocos conceituais são enfatizados como tentativas de aplicar os pressupostos da MBE a fenômenos ligados à subjetividade e à dinâmica social, além de outros objetos de estudo peculiares às ciências sociais. São citadas 12 metanálises inconclusivas, que originam paradoxos quando estudados por esta via. A crítica a alguns aspectos da MBE é sintetizada pelo de seu efeito de confundimento epistemológico. Há imprecisões conceituais do termo relacionadas ao efeito de "entrincheiramento", ao qual são induzidos outros modelos epistemológicos não alinhados, assim como a tendência à compreensão universal dos fenômenos pela perspectiva dos estudos duplo-cego randomizados. Abstract The present study describes the phenomenon of paradigmatic ruptures proliferation in the biomedical literature. The current distortion is discussed, which has conferred in the last decades an opposite meaning to the term originally proposed by Thomas Khun. In most part, it is realized that pseudo-ruptures refer to technical details associated to specific contexts. It is pointed out the case of evidence-based medicine (EBM), proclaimed as one of these paradigmatic ruptures, but which essentially corroborates old concepts. Some conceptual errors are stressed as well as attempts to apply EBM assumptions to phenomena associated to subjectivity and social dynamics and other particular study subjects of social sciences. Twelve inconclusive metaanalyses are described to exemplify the paradoxes emerging from this approach. The criticism to some EBM features is summarized through the effects of epistemological bafflement, producing conceptual inaccuracies of the term; the defensive effect to which other disciplines are induced for not being adequate to such rationality; and the tendency of universal understanding of phenomena through the perspective of randomized double-blind studies.

“…That is, bullies were more likely to be aggressive, less cooperative, and socially impaired, and they typically had few friends (Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group, 1999;Prinz & Connell, 1997;Webster-Stratton, 1990). Researchers found that this characteristic, like other forms of aggression, was stable over time (Dumas, 1989;Kazdin, 1987;Lytton, 1990;Woolfenden, Williams, & Peat, 2001). In one scenario, researchers hypothesized that as these children age, their behavior puts them at greater odds with their families and peers, thereby leading to increases in aggressive tendencies (Patterson, Dishion, & Bank, 1984).…”

Bullying as a Public Health IssueY outh violence has become a major concern in America, heightened by several recent and tragic school shootings occurring in various cities across the nation (Sampson, 2002;Spivak & Prothrow-Stith, 2001). In several of these shootings, bullying was reported as a contributing factor explaining these young assailants' use of violence (Ericson, 2001;Nansel, Overpeck, Haynie, Ruan, & Scheidt, 2003;Sampson, 2002). This has forced our country to look at an activity that has long been considered an unpleasant, unfortunate, and inevitable but mostly harmless rite of passage.Following these events, policy makers and researchers have been taking a closer look at bullying and its effects. Though Americans are relatively new to this study, researchers in Europe have been investigating bullies and their victims since the 1980s, when Olweus (see Olweus, 1992;Olweus, Limber, & Mihalic, 2000) first started studying this phenomenon. He began with a definition of bullying that has since gained wide acceptance (see, e.g.
