The effectiveness of community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups: a meta-analysis

Table 11 Results of the random effects meta-regression with peer and community intervention deliverers as predictors of intervention effectiveness for health consequences outcomes and self-efficacy

Outcome	B(SE)constant	B(SE)Community member	B(SE)Peer	n	R ²	Model homog.Q(p-value)
Health consequences	.06 (.11)	.17 (.13)	.08 (.14)	38	.04	1.70 (p = .43)
Participant self-efficacy	.51 (.21)*	-.17 (.23)	.00 (.24)	20	.03	.58 (p = .75)

*p < .05. Note. Interventions can have more than one intervention deliverer type; the categories are not mutually exclusive. B = unstandardised regression coefficient; SE = standard error of the regression coefficient; n = the number of effect size estimates included in the analysis; R² = the amount of variance explained by the model, where an R² of .04 represents 4% of the variance in the effect size estimates explained by the model; and Model homog. = homogeneity Q-test value for the model, where a significant value indicates that the model explains significant variability in the effect size estimates.
