Formulae for calculating d for controlled and uncontrolled trials
Formulae for calculating d for controlled trials:
d = c[(MTpost – MTpre) – (MCpost – MCpre)]/SDpooled
SDpooled = √[(nT – 1)SDTpre2 + (nC – 1)SDCpre
2]/(nT + nC – 2)
c = 1 – 3/(4(nT + nC – 2) – 1)
where MTpre, MTpost = mean of treatment group at preintervention and postintervention, respectively; MCpre, MCpost = mean of control group at
preintervention and postintervention, respectively; SDpooled = pooled standard deviation at preintervention; SDTpre, SDCpre = standard deviation at
preintervention of treatment and control group, respectively; nT, nC = sample size of treatment and control group, respectively; c = bias correction
factor
Formulae for calculating d for uncontrolled trials:
d = c (Mpost – Mpre)/SDpre
c = 1 – 3/(4(n – 1) – 1)

Description and coding of moderator variables

Description of variable Categories Interpretation of regression coefficients
Components of intervention variables
Triple P level Categorical variable. Level of Triple P intervention used. For
the few studies evaluating a precursor format of Triple P, the
level was determined by matching the number and length of
sessions in the intervention with the Triple P levels.
Four dummy
variables:
0 0 0 0 Level 1
1 0 0 0 Level 2
0 1 0 0 Level 3
0 0 1 0 Level 4
0 0 0 1 Level 5
DV1: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Level 2 relative to Level 1.
DV2: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Level 3 relative to Level 1.
DV3: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Level 4 relative to Level 1.
DV4: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Level 5 relative to Level 1.
Program variant Categorical variable. Triple P program variant used including
0-12 years programs, Teen programs, Stepping Stones
programs, and Workplace programs. Although other program
variants exist, such as Baby Triple P, Grandparent Triple P,
and Fuss-Free Feeding Triple P, only a very small number of
studies have evaluated these variants so these studies were
excluded from this moderator analysis. Only analyzed in Level
4 data.
Three dummy
variables:
0 0 0 0-12 years
1 0 0 Teen
0 1 0 Stepping
Stones
0 0 1 Workplace
DV1: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Teen relative to 0-12 years.
DV2: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Stepping Stones relative to 0-12 years.
DV3: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Workplace relative to 0-12 years.
Delivery format Categorical variable. Delivery format used in intervention
including standard (individual sessions with a practitioner),
group, self-directed, self-directed plus telephone, and online.
Only analyzed in Level 4 data.
Four dummy
variables:
0 0 0 0 Standard
1 0 0 0 Group
0 1 0 0 Self-
directed
0 0 1 0 Self-
directed plus
telephone
0 0 0 1 Online
DV1: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Group relative to Standard.
DV2: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Self-directed relative to Standard.
DV3: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Self-directed plus telephone relative to Standard.
DV4: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Online relative to Standard.
Sample characteristics variables
Country Categorical variable. Whether the study was implemented in
Australia, or implemented in another country
Australia = 1
Other countries = 0
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Australia compared to other countries.
Developmental
disability
Categorical variable. Whether the target children had a
developmental disability or not
Developmental
disability = 1
No disability = 0
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
children with developmental disability compared to
without.
Child age Continuous variable. Mean age of the children in each sample Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
higher mean child age.
Study approach Categorical variable. There were three levels of study
approach: (a) universal - addresses the entire population of
parents, not identified on the basis of risk and designed to meet
Two dummy
variables:
DV1: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
Targeted approach relative to Universal.
DV2: Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
the needs that all parents might have; (b) targeted – aimed at
parents or parents of children with identified needs considered
at higher risk for future problems; or (c) treatment – designed
to alter the course of an existing or diagnosed problem as
specified by a clinical cut-off or diagnosis.
0 0 Universal
1 0 Targeted
0 1 Treatment
Treatment approach relative to Universal.
Severity of
initial child
problems
Continuous variable. Based on parent-report data, the severity
of initial child problems was determined for each study by
calculating a T-score (standard score based on a normal
distribution with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10)
for the mean of child problems for the treatment group. T-
scores were calculated for measures where community means
and standard deviations were available and Australian norms
were used where possible. When multiple measures of child
problems were used in a study, an average of the T-scores was
entered as the moderator.
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
higher severity of initial child problems.
Methodological variables
Design Categorical variable. Design was divided into trials which
utilized randomization procedures (i.e., randomized controlled
trials and cluster randomized trials), and non-randomized trials
(i.e., quasi-experimental studies and uncontrolled studies).
Randomized trials
= 0
Non-randomized
trials = 1
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for non-
randomized trials.
Methodological
quality
Continuous variable. Methodological quality of each study was
determined using the Downs and Black (1998) measure for
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
methodological quality for both randomized and non-
randomized trials. Scores range from 1 to 26, with higher
scores indicating higher quality.
higher methodological quality.
Attrition Continuous variable. Percentage of attrition for the treatment
group from preintervention to postintervention was calculated.
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
higher rates of attrition.
Length of
follow-up
Continuous variable. Length of follow-up was defined in
months ranging from 2 to 36 months.
Only analyzed in follow-up data.
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
longer follow-up periods.
Risk of bias variables
Publication
status
Categorical variable. Publication status was determined as of
29 January 2013. Unpublished studies were found by
contacting researchers via email and asking for completed
studies that had for whatever reason not been published. This
included reports, unpublished Doctoral Dissertations,
unpublished Masters Theses, unpublished Honors Theses, and
manuscripts that were under review or in preparation.
Unpublished = 0
Published = 1
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
published papers compared to unpublished.
Developer
involvement
Categorical variable. The first and second authors of this paper
reviewed each study to determine level of developer
involvement. A study was classified as having any developer
involvement if the program developer was involved with study
conceptualization, design, methodology, analyses, write up, or
Any developer
involvement = 0
No developer
involvement = 1
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for no
developer involvement compared to some
developer involvement.
if the program developer was consulted in aspects of study
design and implementation. If the program developer was
involved in none of these aforementioned steps, the study was
categorized as having no developer involvement. The
classification given to each study was then reviewed by the
third author of this paper.
Study power Categorical variable. Study power investigated whether
estimates of intervention effects are biased due to some studies
being underpowered. Studies were classified as having samples
greater than or equal to 35, or less than 35 participants in the
smallest group.
Studies with greater
than or equal to 35
participants in the
smallest group = 1
Studies with less
than 35 participants
in the smallest
group = 0
Positive value indicates higher effect sizes for
studies with greater or equal to 35 participants in
the smallest group compared to studies with less
than 35 participants in the smallest group.
