Description

Flexible stepped wedge and cluster randomised crossover designs . Cluster randomised trials are an important class of trial used to assess the effect of interventions. This project aims to develop flexible cluster randomised trial designs by developing statistical theory for designs that can adapt to changing circumstances, update cluster and/or participant recruitment, and the software tools for trial design and analysis. This project expects to generate adaptable and flexible cluster designs. Expected outcomes include tools to allow researchers across a wide range of disciplines to design these trials, the underpinning methodology, and international collaboration. This should provide significant benefits by supporting the conduct of more high-quality, cost-efficient research in Australia and worldwide.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4905 - Statistics.
