Background: Researchers are often interested in testing the effectiveness of an intervention on multiple outcomes, for multiple subgroups, at multiple points in time, or across multiple treatment groups. The resulting multiplicity of statistical hypothesis tests can lead to spurious findings of effects. Multiple testing procedures (MTPs)…

The purpose of this paper is to present results of recent advances in power analyses to detect the moderator effects in Cluster Randomized Trials (CRTs). This paper focus on demonstration of the software PowerUp!-Moderator. This paper provides a resource for researchers seeking to design CRTs with adequate power to detect the moderator effects of…

As evidence-based reform becomes increasingly important in educational policy, it is becoming essential to understand how research design might contribute to reported effect sizes in experiments evaluating educational programs. The purpose of this study was to examine how methodological features such as types of publication, sample sizes, and…
