We included 50 between-group studies with control groups and 7 studies with only within-group data in a meta-analysis of adult anger treatments. Overall, we examined 92 treatment interventions that incorporated 1,841 subjects. Results showed that subjects who received treatment showed significant and moderate improvement compared to untreated subjects and a large amount of improvement when compared to pretest scores. In the group of controlled studies significant heterogeneity of variance and significant differences among effect sizes for different dependent variable categories were found. Anger interventions produced reductions in the affect of anger, reductions in aggressive behaviors, and increases in positive behaviors. An analysis of followup data suggested that treatment gains were maintained.

Thes study investigated actual service use by 152 dementia patients and used the Anderson model to examine factors associated with the use of in-home and out-of-home services. On the whole, practical issues tied to patient care were most powerfully related to the use of formal services in patients with relatively advanced dementia. Family caregiver appraisal, coping, and emotional adjustment were not substantively tied to service use.
