目的
对匿名酗酒者协会（AA）的研究回顾推测，当按客户和研究特征分组时，研究结果可能会有所不同。Emrick等人在1993年的一项荟萃分析综述为这一担忧提供了实证支持，但没有探讨其含义。本文根据样本来源和研究质量的全球评级对AA隶属关系和结果研究的结果进行了分类。该审查还审查了AA研究的统计功效。
方法
荟萃分析程序被用来总结74项研究的结果，检查AA的联系和结果。结果分为样本是否从门诊或住院设置和研究质量的全球评级，共同考虑使用受试者的选择和分配，测量的可靠性和自我报告的确证。划分研究结果的有效性通过相关性大小和无法解释的方差的变化来检查。
结果
在门诊样本中，AA参与和饮酒结果的相关性更强，设计更好的研究更有可能报告与AA出席相关的积极心理社会结果。一般来说，AA研究缺乏足够的统计能力来检测感兴趣的关系。
结论
AA的经验和成果是异质的，它是没有意义的，以寻求综合概况AA分支机构或成果。设计良好的研究，大门诊样本可能提供最好的机会来检测预测因素和AA参与的影响。
OBJECTIVE
Reviews of research on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) have speculated how findings may differ when grouped by client and study characteristics. A meta-analytic review by Emrick et al. in 1993 provided empirical support for this concern but did not explore its implications. This review divided results of AA affiliation and outcome research by sample origin and global rating of study quality. The review also examined the statistical power of studies on AA.
METHOD
Meta-analytic procedures were used to summarize the findings of 74 studies that examined AA affiliation and outcome. Results were divided by whether samples were drawn from outpatient or inpatient settings and a global rating of study quality that jointly considered use of subject selection and assignment, reliability of measurement and corroboration of self-report. Efficacy of dividing study results was examined by changes in magnitude of correlations and unexplained variance.
RESULTS
AA participation and drinking outcomes were more strongly related in outpatient samples, and better designed studies were more likely to report positive psychosocial outcomes related to AA attendance. In general, AA studies lacked sufficient statistical power to detect relationships of interest.
CONCLUSIONS
AA experiences and outcomes are heterogeneous, and it makes little sense to seek omnibus profiles of AA affiliates or outcomes. Well-designed studies with large outpatient samples may afford the best opportunity to detect predictors and effects of AA involvement.
