Meta-Analysis and Meta-Synthesis

1. Compare and contrast Meta-Analyses and Meta-Syntheses to one another. Which one would you most likely use to support a change in practice and why?
2.As with any type of research, information from a Meta-Analysis has to be assessed/evaluated prior to using in a doctoral project.

For this discussion, visit the Chamberlain library to locate a Meta-Analysis associated with your DNP Scholarly Project topic. Please be sure to limit your search to Meta-Analyses published within the past 5 years to ensure they are contemporary in nature.

If you are unable to find a Meta-Analysis specific to your topic idea, seek out the assistance of a librarian to help you locate one on a similar topic.
