Background to controlled trials -- The limitations of before and after designs -- History of controlled trials -- What is special about randomisation? -- Sources of bias in randomised trials - Placebo and sham trials -- Pragmatic and explanatory trials -- Designs to deal with participant preference -- Cluster randomised controlled trials -- Unequal randomisation -- Factorial randomised controlled trials - Pilot randomised controlled trials -- Sample size and analytical issues -- Measuringoutcomes -- Recruitment into randomised trials -- Systematic reviews ofrandomised controlled trials-- Economic evaluation alongside randomised trials -- Conclusions.

Evidence-based policy increasingly demands rigorous randomized trials. Designing and Running Randomised Trials in Health and Education focusses solely on randomized trials and exemplifies theiruse primarily inthe major fields of health, education and criminal justice research. Beginning withahistory of randomized trials and a justification for their use, the book then outlines, chapter by chapter, important design issues researchers need to consider in order to produce a robust experiment. Unusual designs (such as preference trials) are introduced and their applications to different social science situations are explained indetail. The book also includes introductory chapters aboutusing economics alongside trials and describes basic statistical approaches to theanalysis of trialdata.
