Chapman and Hall/CRC Cluster Randomization Trials: Statistical Design and Analysis

Cluster Randomization Trials: Statistical Design and Analysis is an essential reference from Chapman and Hall/CRC's Biostatistics Series for researchers and practitioners working with cluster-based study designs. This comprehensive guide addresses the unique statistical challenges that arise when randomising groups or clusters rather than individuals, a common approach in public health, education, and pharmaceutical research. The book provides practical methods for designing trials that account for within-cluster correlations, selecting appropriate sample sizes, and analysing results while maintaining statistical validity. Whether you are planning a new cluster randomised trial or analysing existing cluster data, this resource equips you with the theoretical foundations and analytical techniques needed to ensure rigorous, publishable research outcomes.
