PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP III: CANCELLED, THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF GROUP RANDOMIZED TRIALS

The goals of the workshop are to provide attendees with training on the technical issues and statistical analyses distinctive to Group Randomized trial design and analysis. By the end of the workshop, attendees should have the tools and skills needed to describe the strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate uses of randomized clinical trials (RCTs), group-randomized trials (GRTs), and Individually randomized group treatment trials (IRGTs); discuss the strengths and weaknesses of design and analytic alternatives available for these trials; critique published trials that used these designs; and perform sample size calculations for these designs.
