Another #PeerReview done.
Manuscript c4,000 words
Review c2,700 words
5hrsPaper in a key area of my methodological work, so it was really interesting. But I really needed to get stuck in.
Two collaboration projects on the design and reporting of #RCTs that might be useful for others:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37982521/
presents 19 factors to aid trial design, and the DELTA2 Guidance specifying a target difference and reporting the #SampleSize calculation for RCTs

This article offers a good discussion of covariate adjustment in cluster randomised trials:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12550654/There are some good other resources out there, but this one is especially handy due to the breadth of topics covered:
statistical precision, bias from differential recruitment or missing data, how to select covariates, model-based approaches, missing data techniques, and illustration in a case study. -

Which #SampleSize to use in your pilot or feasibility trial?
Well, you won't find the answer in this review of studies in #ISRCTN (2013 to 2020)
https://pilotfeasibilitystudies.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40814-023-01416-wBut it is a good intro into the topic, and with 57% not reaching their target sample size, they may interestingly not provide the information they were designed to offer!

A well-justified epistemological foundation is a key requirement for a #DelphiStudy:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1865921722000769The team argues that #ReportingGuidelines encourage researchers to reflect on and disclose key assumptions and methodological choices in such studies.

Research participants being fully informed about the research and to provide their voluntary consent to participate is a cornerstone of ethical research practice.
Secondary school pupils in Cameroon explored how to engage with consent principles, main focus were benefits and risks of participation, #VoluntaryParticipation, and confidentiality

Mirjam Stieger (Lucerne Uni) and I are invited to present
"Contemporary #Evaluation of Interventions: Mobile, Digital, and Pragmatic"
at @unibern
https://www.bbs.unibe.ch/training/summer_course/index_eng.htmlThis is the annual Summer Course of the Doctoral Program Brain and Behavioral Sciences, and comprises a mixture of keynotes, masterclasses, hidden curriculum etc.
I am very much looking forward to it, and also very honoured to be invited once again to Bern to train #ECRs!
