This 5 day course is aimed at post-graduate research students and researchers engaged in the conduct of RCTs, and would be particularly relevant for individuals planning to undertake a fellowship or post-graduate work involving clinical research.
This internationally renowned group of researchers will provide a comprehensive introduction to trial design features used to mitigate bias, important aspects of design, conduct, analysis and reporting, and challenges and solutions for conducting RCTs, with some focus on trials in mental health (including mediation analysis). Throughout the course the emphasis will be on practical issues faced by researchers and the provision of skills for designing and conducting rigorous RCTs.
Highlights include a practical introduction to health economics of trials in this field, an introduction to adaptive and stepped wedge designs, analysis of stepped wedge trials and missing data in trials.
An undergraduate degree and statistical knowledge are required. Some sessions of the course will use Stata and R statistical packages. At least intermediate level knowledge of Stata and some experience of regression modelling is advised (knowledge of R would be advantageous, but is not necessary). Delegates will be expected to come with working copies of Stata and R on a laptop.
