SUMMARY:Grand Rounds
DESCRIPTION:Stepped wedge cluster trials: What\, how\, and when?\nMonica Taljaard\, PhD\nSenior Scientist\, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute\nAssociate Professor\, University of Ottawa\nThursday\, December 19\, 2019\n12:00 – 1:00 pm EST\nLearning Objectives:\n\nDescribe the key characteristics and main types of stepped wedge cluster randomized trials (SW-CRTs) with examples.\nExplain the main approach to analysis and sample size calculation for SW-CRTs.\nDiscuss what is an appropriate justification for using a SW-CRTs.\n\nMonica Taljaard\, PhD is a biostatistician specializing in the design\, analysis\, and ethics of pragmatic cluster randomized and stepped wedge trials. As a member of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) Methods Center\, she regularly provides biostatistical assistance to investigators in the design\, conduct\, and analysis of pragmatic trials\, pilot trials\, quality improvement interventions\, and health system projects. Since Dr. Taljaard’s academic appointment in 2006\, she has published over 240 peer-reviewed manuscripts and has received over $10M in peer-reviewed research grants as principal investigator from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research\, in addition to $110 million in peer-reviewed research funding as co-investigator. She has collaborated with investigators in the design and analysis of a large-scale pragmatic cluster randomized trials in US Nursing homes\, and studies in palliative and end-of-life care\, dementia\, long-term care\, perioperative care of the frail elderly\, and health care system quality improvement in nursing homes. \nZoom Conferencing\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iOS or Android: https://hebrewseniorlife.zoom.us/j/5479652617     \nDial-In:    +1 646 876 9923 (US Toll) or +1 669 900 6833 (US Toll) \nMeeting ID:  547 965 2617 \n

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds Webinar: Are You Ready for a Pragmatic Trial? The RAPT Model and Implementation Considerations
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will describe the use of the Readiness Assessment for Pragmatic Trials (RAPT) model to asses an intervention’s readiness for a pragmatic randomized\, controlled trial (PCT). PCTs are gaining momentum among among interventionists and funding agencies seeking to accelerate the testing and adoption of evidence-based strategies to improve care and outcomes because their findings are generalizable. Particular attention is being paid to non-pharmacological interventions\, which are often complex and may be difficult to uniformly implement across multiple sites. While many such non-pharmacological interventions have proven efficacious in small trials\, most have not been widely adopted. PCTs could accelerate effectiveness testing and adoption\, yet there are no established criteria to identify interventions ready for testing in a PCT. This webinar will help demonstrate how the RAPT model can help to establish those criteria. \nRead more about the RAPT Model \n \nDownload the event flyer
