Note

CSA = child sexual abuse;
k = number of effect sizes (samples);
N = total number of participants in the k samples;
r_u = unbiased effect size estimate (positive values indicate better adjustment for control participants);
CI = confidence interval for r_u;
Chi² = within-group homogeneity statistic (based on dl = k -1);
r_unw = unweighted mean effect size. "AIl' indicates all samples were used, including Kendall-Tackett et al. (1993), in which some data were missing and statistics could not be computed, as indicated by blank spaces;
"AIl (w/o KWF)" indicates all samples were used except for KendaIl-Tackett et al. (1993).
* p < .05, indicating non-homogeneity of effect sizes.
