There is an increasing need for new health interventions to be rigorously evaluated through randomized controlled trials, which have become the gold standard for intervention studies. In addition, there is increasing acceptance of cluster randomized trials (CRTs) as the most appropriate choice of study design. "Cluster Randomised Trials" covers the design, analysis, and conduct of health intervention trails in which groups or clusters of individuals are randomized to different conditions. With an emphasis on key concepts rather than mathematical details, the book uses case studies to illustrate methods and Stata code based on real-world datasets to demonstrate analytical methods.
