Private practitioners will be randomized to training in manualized STPP vs. treatment as usual without a specific training (control condition). We plan to enrol a total of 105 patients (84 completers). Assessments will be conducted before treatment starts, after 8 and 15 weeks, after 25 ...
The traditional approach to the analysis of cluster randomized trials has been tocalculate a summary measure for each cluster, such as a cluster mean or proportion. Because each cluster then provides only one data point, the data can be considered to be independent, allowing standard statistical t...

We made use of a cluster-randomized design that would allow for claims of causality, and utilized a sample large and diverse enough for us to infer generalizability of effects. The trial was more than adequately powered to detect likely treatment effects of the PATHS program.3 Assessment of ...
The primary aim of this study is to provide an empirical assessment of the BtBYCB program via the use of a cluster randomized controlled trial (CRCT). Specifically, the following research aims and hypotheses will be addressed in this trial: Aims To statistically examine whether the BtBYCB inte...
