As discussed in a later chapter on recruitment issues, pilots play an invaluable role in helping this aspect of an RCT. However, they also

Health care trials seem particularly vulnerable to under-recruitment, particularly trials that use ‘trickle’ or sequential recruitment, where we cannot identify all those in our sample of participants at the same time. For instance, if we want to recruit to a surgical trial for appendic

Unless economic evaluations are included alongside randomised trials we run the risk of introducing effective, but cost-ineffective interventions. In this chapter we discuss some of the basic concepts and issues surrounding the use of economic evaluations in trial settin

Many quasi-experiments cannot ‘design-out’ potential bias, unlike randomised controlled trials. In this chapter we discuss the particular problems of the before and after study.
