I'm trying to create a table similar to the one in the picture below.

I don't use LaTeX often and I am in need of some help.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Here is a partial table to get your started:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
\caption{Effects of Moderators on the Relationship Between Exposure to Scary TV and Internalizing Responses}
\centering
\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.5}
  \begin{tabular}{l c c c c c c}
  \hline
   &  &  & \multicolumn{2}{c}{95\% CI} &  &  \\\cline{4-5}
  Moderator & \textit{k} & Estimate & Lower & Upper & \textit{Test} & \textit{p} \\\cline{1-7}
  \textbf{Study Characteristics} &  &  &  &  &  &  \\
  {Experimental or correlational} & 129 & -0.159 & -0.269 & -0.049 & $\chi^2(1)=8.08$ & .005 \\
  etc. & & & & & \\
  \hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}

yields:

  • Thanks! How would I do an indentation (e.g. Child vs. Parent under Responder)?

    There may be a more proper way to do this, but I would just push the text of each cell that needs to be indented with \hspace. Swap out the etc. & ... row with: {\hspace{1em} etc.} & & & & & \\ , and of course it doesn't have to be 1em.

  • I don't think you need \bgroup/egreoup here, as it is within a table-environment. Also, the booktabs-package could make the table look more alike the example. I would also align many of the numbers, either at =-signs, or decimals, using siunitx. This of course isn't really done in the example, but there is nothing wrong with improving the look.

  • @Runar thanks, I've removed the group ends from the answer now

You can actually improve the quality by using siunitx. Here's only some relevant lines, the others will follow the same schemes.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{garamondx}
\usepackage{booktabs,threeparttable,siunitx,caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htp]
\centering
\captionsetup{justification=raggedright}

\begin{threeparttable}

\caption{Effects of moderators and the relationship between
  exposure to scary TV and internalizing responses}

\small
\addtolength{\tabcolsep}{-2pt}

\begin{tabular}{
  @{}
  l
  c
  *{3}{ S[table-format=-1.3] }
  c
  r
  @{}
}
\toprule
&&& \multicolumn{2}{c}{95\% CI} && \\
\cmidrule{4-5}
Moderator & $k$ & {Estimate} & {Lower} & {Upper} & \textit{Test} & \multicolumn{1}{c@{}}{$p$} \\
\midrule
\multicolumn{7}{@{}l@{}}{\textbf{Study characteristics}} \\
Experimental or correlational &
  129 & -0.159 & -0.269 & -0.049 & $\chi^2(1)=8.08$ & $.005$ \\
Responder & 129 &&&& $\chi^2(2)=0.14$ & $.056$ \\
\quad child vs.\@ parent &
      & -0.010 & -0.067 &  0.047 & $z=-0.34$ & $.736$ \\
Outcome measure & 129 &&&& $\chi^2(5)=22.39$ & $<.001$ \\
\quad general vs.\@ fear &
      &  0.213 &  0.111 &  0.315 & $z=4.11$ & $<.001$ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{threeparttable}

\end{table}

\end{document}
