Cluster Randomized Clinical Trials (CRCTs) are a type of clinical trial that involves randomizing groups of individuals, rather than individuals themselves. This type of trial is often used when it is not feasible to randomize individuals, such as when the population is geographically dispersed or when the intervention is to be applied to a group. CRCTs are used to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in a variety of settings, including public health, education, and health care.
CRCTs are designed to reduce bias and confounding, and to increase the generalizability of the results. They are also used to assess the cost-effectiveness of interventions, as well as to evaluate the impact of interventions on health outcomes.
CRCTs are becoming increasingly popular in the clinical trial market, as they offer a number of advantages over traditional randomized controlled trials. Companies in the market include Parexel, ICON, Syneos Health, and PPD. Show Less Read more
