Overview
The course helps researchers determine the sample size needed for their study. Basic theory will be explained such as confidence intervals, p-values, power of a study, design effect and more. Sample sizes for different study designs such as prevalence studies, parallel group studies, ..etc will be discussed. The course will be applied using available free resources (webpages and software) to demonstrate sample size computations.

Target Audience
Specialties - Allied Health Professionals, Dentists, Educators, Nurses, Pharmacists, Physicians, Researchers, Students

Overall Learning Objective
  1. 1- Demonstrate an understanding to concepts related to sample size computation such as design effect, power, significance level
  2. 2- Determine the number of participants needed for different study designs commonly used in research such as prevalence studies, parallel arm clinical trials and pre-post studies
  3. 3- Use a combination of available software and online calculators to compute the sample size
  4. 4- Determine how to adjust sample size computation for loss to follow up or the presence of multiple outcomes

Registration

QAR 200 or $55

The registration closes ONE day before the activity. You will receive a UNIQUE link to join the webinar on the day of the presentation.
