Glassman, Jill R.; Potter, Susan C.; Baumler, Elizabeth R.; Coyle, Karin K. – Health Education & Behavior, 2015
Introduction: Group-randomized trials (GRTs) are one of the most rigorous methods for evaluating the effectiveness of group-based health risk prevention programs. Efficiently designing GRTs with a sample size that is sufficient for meeting the trial's power and precision goals while not wasting resources exceeding them requires estimates of the…
