Research output: Contribution to conferenceOtherOther research output

Abstract

A recent study demonstrated that the effect size for antidepressant (AD) has been overestimated substantially (one third) due to selective publication (Turner et al., 2008.) The impact of publication bias in general in research will be discussed. Might the effect size of psychological interventions also be exaggerated by selective publication to this extend? Do we have effective treatment of depression at all? What is the impact of trial registration in AD and in psychological intervention trials? Finally, this presentation will focus on the way clinicians should view current guidelines and the efficacy of these treatments (De Jonge, Bockting, NEJM,
2008)?
