q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of two cross-curricular studies reducing SLB or fruit juice consumption; both reported statistically significant reductions at p < .05 or better. The review reports a mean Cohen's d of Md = 0.42 but cautions about the small number of studies.

"The mean effect size for cross-curricular approaches at reducing SLB or fruit juice consumption was Md = 0.42. This was within the Zone of Desired Effects [11], but more investigation may be required given the small number of studies included in the analysis."
