A resource pack for
teachers running a basic training workshop on randomised controlled
trials
This 12-module package has been developed by the Practihc group to
support the running of a basic training workshop on randomised
controlled trials. The modules discuss the major issues
surrounding randomised controlled trials including allocation, sample
size calculations, adherence, ethics and trial management.
The
outline of the course as a pdf is here.
Each module contains a list of learning objectives, most have a set of
slides that can be used to support the module and supporting articles
are also provided. The course can be run as a two and half to
five day course with the longer course allowing more small group work
and discussion. It is particularly suited to groups of
participants who have an idea for a protocol.
Teachers are free to use the course material in courses with no fee as
long as the Practihc project is acknowledged. Those charging
course fees should contact Andy Oxman at oxman@online.no
before using these materials.
The whole course, or modules from it can be downloaded at http://homepage.mac.com/streweek/Trial_Protocol_Tool/FileSharing36.html
