Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 Across six RCTs, interventions produced a large pooled effect on caregiver book-sharing competence (d=1.01). → Dowdall 2020
Evidence¶
Dowdall 2020¶
Dowdall, N., Melendez-Torres, G. J., Murray, L., Gardiner, F., Harrtford, L. & Cooper, P.J. (2020). Shared picture book reading interventions for child language development: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Child Development, 91(2). https://doi.org/10.1111/cdev.13225
q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3
Robust variance estimation meta-analysis of six studies providing 15 effect sizes from 481 caregivers, using measures such as facilitating verbalizations, sensitivity and reciprocity. Found "a large sized effect in improving caregiver book sharing competence" with d=1.01, p=0.009.
"The pooled result of the robust variance estimation meta-analysis provided evidence (p=0.009) for interactive book sharing interventions having a large sized effect in improving caregiver book sharing competence when compared to controls (d=1.01; CI: 0.40, 1.63; df: 4.79); tau-squared = 0.29."
