	Description (Extrait du site web)
	Working in partnership with colleagues to undertake national, scientifically rigorous, randomised trials of the effectiveness and efficiency of existing or potential health care interventions in health care, education and crime and justice. Aims The York Trials Unit has been developed with the following aims: - To conduct rigorous trials - To provide academic leadership for rigorous trial design - To provide support to trials external to the Unit The Unit consists of 9 research and 7 support staff Randomisation Procedures The Unit provides a range of methods to ensure secure allocation of trial participants to treatments. Unsecure allocation methods, such as sealed envelopes, are potential sources of subversion bias, secure allocation aims to eradicate this potential source of bias. As well as providing a secure and concealed method of random allocation of trial participants we offer a range of sophisticated allocation methods, such as minimisation, to ensure maximum comparability of the trial groups and minimise the possibility of chance bias. The randomisation service is available to trialist as a complete stand alone service, independent of any other collaboration with the unit. Data Management Services The Unit operates a comprehensive state of the art data management service under the direction of Simon Coulton. The data management service provides a range of different services from advice regarding appropriate data management strategies to complete data management solutions. The data management service provides a comprehensive design, implementation and management service incorporating manual data entry, electronic data capture and optical data scanning systems. Clinical Input to Trial Design As well as having a wide range of non-clinical experts experienced in developing randomised trials we are fortunate to have, either within the Unit or Department, access to clinical experts. For example, Professor Ian Watt, who is an associate member of the Trials Unit, provides advice on primary care trials from the perspective of a general practitioner. Services Provided by the Trials Unit - Study Design - Randomisation Service - Trial Co-ordination - Data Management - Statistics - Economic Evaluation - Outcomes
