Table 2.
Pre-post treatment effects (Hedges' g) and heterogeneity indices of DBT-A
| Outcome | k | n | Hedges' g | 95% CI | I2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reduction at treatment completion | |||||
| Self-harm | 16 | 498 | −0.98* | −1.15 to −0.81 | 0.00 |
| Suicidal ideation | 11 | 299 | −1.16* | −1.51 to −0.80 | 54.58 |
| Borderline personality disorder symptoms | 5 | 218 | −0.97* | −1.31 to −0.63 | 43.51 |
Hedges' g indicates change from pre to post-intervention such that a negative effect size indicates a reduction in that outcome following DBT-A.
*
Indicates effect sizes that are statistically significant (p < 0.001).
