Cluster Randomised Trials, Second Edition discusses the design,
conduct, and analysis of trials that randomise groups of
individuals to different treatments. It explores the advantages of
cluster randomisation, with special attention given to evaluating
the effects of interventions against infectious diseases. Avoiding
unnecessary mathematical detail, the book covers basic concepts
underlying the use of cluster randomisation, such as direct,
indirect, and total effects. In the time since the publication of
the first edition, the use of cluster randomised trials (CRTs) has
increased substantially, which is reflected in the updates to this
edition. There are greatly expanded sections on randomisation,
sample size estimation, and alternative designs, including new
material on stepped wedge designs. There is a new section on
handling ordinal outcome data, and an appendix with descriptions
and/or generating code of the example data sets. Although the book
mainly focuses on medical and public health applications, it shows
that the rigorous evidence of intervention effects provided by CRTs
has the potential to inform public policy in a wide range of other
areas. The book encourages readers to apply the methods to their
own trials, reproduce the analyses presented, and explore
alternative approaches.
