Guest Instructors from KCL and Newcastle University: Ioannis Bakolis PhD, Michael Grayling PhD, Sabine Landau PhD, Mark Pennington PhD, James Wason PhD



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.

She has extensive experience in the design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials, particularly in complex interventions in mental health. She is interested in longitudinal modelling, mediation/mechanism of treatment analysis and the use of structural equation models to address questions in these areas.

Ben Carter is<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/ioppn/depts/biostatisticshealthinformatics/people/ben-carter> a Senior Lecturer in Biostatistics. Ben's methodological interests include the design and analysis of cluster Randomised Controlled Trials. He supervises a large portfolio of clinical trials at the IoPPN.
