Article/Chapter Title: Comprehensive dynamic trial designs for behavioral prevention research with communities: Overcoming inadequacies of the randomized controlled trial paradigm
Abstract: (from the preface) This chapter takes a critical stance on the assumptions and implications for community impact of randomized clinical trials. The authors argue against the RCT being held up as a singular "gold standard," and clarify how methodological assumptions and implementation issues of the RCT are constrained when thinking of interventions involving community-level impact. They also provide design alternatives to further methodological efforts in this area. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
