Meta-analysis is an epidemiological, recognized, quantifiable study design that helps in systematical evaluation of earlier research studies to originate conclusions indicative of body of research. Conclusions drawn from meta-analysis may consist of a more detailed and accurate assessment of the consequences of various treatments, different risk factors for any particular or specific disease, or other outcomes, than individual research contributing to joint analysis. One of the critical outcome

The purpose of this paper is to compare three empirical research studies. These three studies are classified into articles: Article 1) Testing the Effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing as a Weight Reduction Strategy for Obese Cardiac Patients: A Pilot Study by Low, Giasson, Connors, Freeman, & Weiss (2013), Article 2) Motivational Interviewing to Improve Weight Loss in Overweight and/or Obese Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials by Armstrong, Ronksley

Interaction is widely
single-observer, and single-theory studies. Often the purpose of triangulation in specific contexts is to obtain confirmation of findings through convergence of different perspectives. The point at which the perspectives converge is seen to represent reality." -- Jakob, Alexander (2001) In recent years, the need for using both Quantitative and Qualitative as a medium of research has widely increased.

Multisystemic Therapy (MST) addresses the various systems that play a part in the developmental trajectory of conduct disorder (CD). The theoretical underpinnings of MST’s approach to treatment are rooted in Bronfenbrenner’s social ecology theory. At a foundational level, MST takes an equifinal approach that addresses the transactional nature of the systems at play—microsystem, exosystem, macrosystem, mesosystem, and chronosystem—in externalizing disorders. MST utilizes a variety of interventions
