Subject:      Converting OR into Cohen's d statistic
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Dear list,   A colleague approached me today and wanted to convert an
Odds ratio into Cohen's d statistic. He indicated that he could do this
by taking the log of the OR. Does anyone know if this is correct and if
it is not is there a way of converting an OR into a d. thanks,

Martin Sherman

P.S. The following program converts proportions into d, but he doesn't
have the proportions. He is trying to do a meta analysis and wants to
convert the report Odds Ratios into Cohen's d.
