This is the 8th event held by the ESRC-funded Researcher Development
Initiative (RDI) project on Trials in Public Policy. See our website
http://trials-pp.co.uk/ for details of this initiative, and for updated
details of this event.
The day will consist of a mixture of presentations by experts currently
involved in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in criminal justice, health
promotion, education, and other areas of public policy, with workshops,
discussions, and resources to take home. The panel will be happy to discuss
participants’ own work, so if you are planning or involved in trial please
bring or raise issues for discussion.
Workshop topics include:
• Why use an experimental design for public policy research?
• How to plan a study
• How to analyse the results
• What to do when things go wrong
• Top tips to prevent things going wrong
All welcome. Please pass this message on to other who might be interested,
and feel free to advertise this free event.
