TMRP Webinar: Cydney Bruce - Randomisation: Current practice for method selection

Randomisation is considered the gold standard when allocating participants in randomised controlled trials. This is due to the methods ability to remove biases such as selection bias. Previous research we have conducted shows that there is a small selection of methods more commonly used in trials. We found a few characteristics appearing to be associated with choice of randomisation method, but that doesn’t explain all of the variation.

This webinar will detail focus groups conducted with researchers working in UK Clinical Trials Units. The aim was to better understand the decision-making process when selecting a randomisation method and explore causes for this variation in practice.
