The required size of cluster randomized trials of non-pharmaceutical interventions in epidemic settings

2021-07-16

Abstract excerpt

To control the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and future pathogen outbreaks requires an understanding of which non-pharmaceutical interventions are effective at reducing transmission. Observational studies, however, are subject to biases, even when there is no true effect. Cluster randomized trials provide a means to conduct valid hypothesis tests of the effect of interventions on community transmission. While they may only...
