Cluster Randomised Trials Stepped Wedge

Cluster Randomised Trials Stepped Wedge curates and disseminates methodological resources for cluster randomised trials and stepped wedge designs to facilitate quality trials and methodological research.

Key Features:

• Design Resources: Provides hyperlinks to relevant papers with brief explanations covering design considerations for traditional parallel two-arm cluster randomised trials and stepped wedge designs.
• Analysis Resources: Provides hyperlinks to relevant papers with brief explanations covering analytical methods for traditional parallel two-arm cluster randomised trials and stepped wedge designs.
• Reporting Resources: Provides hyperlinks to relevant papers with brief explanations covering reporting standards for traditional parallel two-arm cluster randomised trials and stepped wedge designs.
• Noticeboard: Contains announcements, events, and past events related to cluster randomised trials and stepped wedge designs.

Scientific Applications:

• Cluster Randomised Trial Design: Supports researchers in conducting well-conducted and reported randomised controlled trials in which groups of individuals (clusters) are randomised to treatment arms.
• Stepped Wedge Trial Design: Supports researchers in conducting well-conducted and reported cluster randomised trials where clusters are randomised to sequences rather than directly to treatment arms.
• Methodological Research: Facilitates methodological research on cluster randomised trials and stepped wedge designs by aggregating relevant literature and resources.

Methodology:

The website organises resources into sections covering Design, Analysis and Reporting for traditional cluster randomised trials and stepped wedge designs, with content curated from publications and events in the field.
