Cluster randomised trials are trials in which groups (or clusters)
of individuals are randomly allocated to different forms of
treatment. 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. Key features: * Guides readers through the
stages of conducting a trial, from recruitment to reporting. *
Presents a wide range of examples with particular emphasis on
trials in health services research and primary care, with both
principles and techniques explained. * Topics are specifically
presented in the order in which investigators think about issues
when they are designing a trial. * Combines information on the
latest developments in the field together with a practical guide to
the design and implementation of cluster randomised trials. *
Explains principles and techniques through numerous examples
including many from the authors own experience. * Includes a wide
range of references for those who wish to read further. This book
is intended as a practical guide, written for researchers from the
health professions including doctors, psychologists, and allied
health professionals, as well as statisticians involved in the
design, execution, analysis and reporting of cluster randomised
trials. Those with a more general interest will find the plentiful
examples illuminating.
When the Apostle John wrote "In the beginning was the Word," did he
write something familiar to his audience, or did he write something
totally new? This book compares his words to the teachings of the
Jewish Sages through the Targum of Onkelos, the Targum of Jonathan
ben Uzziel, and the Targum Jerusalem. Did John simply connect what
was known about the Word in Judaism to Yeshua?
