A test of the fail-safe N for self-help programs.

A meta-analysis of published studies on the clinical efficacy of selected self-help programs (F. Scogin et al; see record 1990-15222-001) indicated that such conditions were more effective than no-treatment controls.

Results indicate that unpublished research is unlikely to threaten the validity of the original meta-analysis. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
