NOTE: k(d) = # of relationships contributing to hypothesis; ratio (d) = corresponding frequency effect size or # of reports supporting the hypothesis at d > .20/k(d); k(p) = # of relationships contributing to hypothesis for which there was information about the p value, even if just stating it was not significant. This differs from k(d) when there was no further information available other than stating a relationship was not significant; ratio (p) = corresponding frequency effect size or # of reports supporting the hypothesis at p < .05/k(p). PI/HAART = protease inhibitor/highly active antiretroviral therapy; ARV = antiretroviral; D = demographics; HHS = HIV health status; MR = medication regimen; P = psychological; SA = substance abuse; MC = mother–child.
