Effect size cutoffs might vary not only depending on the area of research, but also on the type of intervention and population. That is, they are context dependent. Therefore, we present strategies to redefine small, medium, and large effect size based on 25, 50, and 75th percentile, respectively.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We illustrate these techniques applying them to 72 effect sizes, derived from 65 randomized controlled trials described in a recent meta-analysis (10.1016/j.smrv.2021.101556) of improving sleep quality on composite mental health.
