Cluster-randomized trials represent an important experimental design, supplementing ordinary randomized clinical trials. They are particularly relevant when evaluating interventions at the level of clinic, hospital, district or region. They are necessary when it is not feasible to randomize individual patient...
Group-randomized (also known as cluster randomized) trials are those trials where the unit of randomization is one of the several types of groups rather than an individual. From: Principles and Practice of Clinical Research (Fourth Edition), 2018 ...
Research designcluster randomized trialsstatistical powerResearch designs in which clusters are the unit of randomization are quite common in the social sciences. Given the multilevel nature of these studies, the power analyses for these studies are more complex than in a simple individually randomized...

More details on the analysis of such trials are provided below. In Section 2 we describe a trial being conducted in Washington state that uses a stepped wedge design. This motivating example provides a context for the theoretical and simulation results shown in Section 3 where we describe ...
Cluster randomized trials, where individuals are randomized in groups are increasingly being used in healthcare evaluation. The adoption of a clustered design has implications for design, conduct and analysis of studies. In particular, standard sample sizes have to be inflated for cluster designs, as...
Random effects regression imputation has been recommended for multiple imputation (MI) in cluster randomized trials (CRTs) because it is congenial to analyses that use random effects regression. This method relies heavily on model assumptions and may not be robust to misspecification of the imputation...
O’Malley, MD, MPH JAMA Internal Medicine Cluster randomized control trials (RCTs) are a form of prospective study where groups of individuals are allocated to an intervention. They offer the unique advantage of rigorously evaluating practices that cannot feasibly be randomized to the individual—...
