The Cambridge Randomizer Sycamore Tree Programme Evaluation
The Problem: In carefully designed experiments, random assignment (RA) procedures can be quite expensive, time-consuming and difficult to manage RA is usually carried out by the research team, not the treatment-provider, in order to increase the likelihood that the integrity of the research will not be challenged. Can treatment providers conduct the RA themselves, without jeopardizing the integrity of the RCT?
The Cambridge Randomizer A low-cost, secure and user-friendly online portal for RA Treatment-providers can now conduct the RA themselves : 1. Secure log-in (meets data protection demands) 2. Assess eligibility of cases to participate in the RCT 3. provide instantaneous baseline information for each case Immediate random llocation into treatment and control groups. The Randomizer automatically sends an electronic report to the research team with each case that goes through the pipeline Researchers maintain control over the scientific process Both quantitative and qualitative data can be accommodated.
