临床和统计异质性是常见的心理健康干预的荟萃分析。这种异质性的一个可能来源是正在评估的干预措施的复杂性。复杂性可能与干预或实施干预的方式有关;然而，对复杂干预最常见的解释是，复杂干预具有多个潜在的相互作用的组成部分。在这篇文章中，我们概述了不同的分析策略，建议将干预的复杂性在荟萃分析。
Clinical and statistical heterogeneity are commonplace in meta-analysis of mental health interventions. One possible source of this heterogeneity is the complexity of the intervention being evaluated. Complexity may relate to the intervention, or to the way in which it is implemented; however, the most common interpretation of a complex intervention is one which has multiple, potentially interacting components. In this article we outline different analytical strategies suggested for incorporating intervention complexity in a meta-analysis.
