Medical Book Design and Analysis of Cluster Randomization Trials in Health Research

Trials randomizing clusters have become particularly widespread in the evaluation of non-therapeutic interventions, including lifestyle modification, educational programmes and innovations in the provision of health care. The increasing popularity of this design among health researchers over the past two decades has led to an extensive body of methodology on the subject. This is the first book to present a systematic and united treatment of this topic; it contains distinctive chapters on the history of cluster randomized trials, ethical issues and reporting guidelines.

A Practical Guide to Cluster Randomised Trials in Health Services Research (Statistics in Practice)

Cluster randomisedtrials are trials in which groups (or clusters) of individuals are randomly allocated to different forms of treatment. Medical books A Practical Guide to Cluster Randomised Trials in Health Services Research . In health care, these trials often compare different ways of managing a disease or promoting healthy living, in contrast to conventional randomised trials which randomise individuals to different treatments, classically comparing new drugs with a placebo. They are increasingly common in health services research. This book addresses the statistical, practical, and ethical issues arising from allocating groups of individuals, or clusters, to different interventions.
