What’s so great about RCTs?
Ioana Marian, OCTRU Senior Statistician
Tuesday 3rd December 2024, 1:00-1:30pm
Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) are experiments that help establish which interventions (e.g. medical, surgical, or behavioural) are effective, safe and can improve healthcare. Why RCTs are considered the ‘gold’ standard design for comparing medical treatments will be reviewed. The benefits of random allocation of treatments will be considered, along with how to implement randomisation in practice. The importance of designing the study well and some of the common pitfalls to avoid will be presented in this session.
