本文介绍了元分析方法在评估全国分布的“我们如何扮演角色”计划中的青少年学习数据中的应用。元分析的应用程序，检查其他多站点的青年计划遇到类似的数据分析挑战的影响进行了讨论。在每一个"我们如何发挥作用”方案网站，大学合作伙伴收集数据，以检查青年参与学习。来自这些独特站点的数据分析具有挑战性，因为该方法必须适应由于实施、样本量和学习背景的差异而导致的站点间固有的异质性。荟萃分析方法揭示了可能被典型回归方法掩盖的研究中心之间潜在变异的详细信息，估计了总体项目效果，检查了亚组，并确定了项目研究中心之间的异质性。结果表明，这是我们如何“角色”计划普遍增加了学习在每个网站和作为一个整体，即使该计划的效果各不相同的网站。这个例子展示了使用元分析方法对类似的多站点青年发展项目的效用。
This paper presents the application of a meta-analysis approach to the evaluation of youth-learning data from the nationally distributed This is How We “Role” program. The application of meta-analysis for examining the impact of other multisite youth programs encountering similar data analysis challenges is discussed. At each This is How We “Role” program site, university partners collected data to examine youth-participant learning. Data analysis from these unique sites was challenging as the approach had to accommodate the innate heterogeneity across sites due to differences in implementation, sample size, and learning context. The meta-analysis method revealed details of the underlying variation between sites that could be masked by typical regression approaches, estimated overall program effects, examined subgroups and identified heterogeneity across project sites. The results showed the This is How We “Role” program generally increased learning at each site and as a whole, even though the program effects varied across sites. This example demonstrates the utility of using the meta-analysis approach to similar multi-site youth development programs.
