Overview

Activity Code: API-02-P289

This course enables researchers with the knowledge and skills needed to determine appropriate sample sizes for their studies. Basic theory will be covered, such as confidence intervals, p-values, statistical power of the study, design effect, and more. Participants will learn how to calculate sample sizes for different study designs, such as prevalence studies and parallel-group studies. The course includes practical application through the use of freely available online resources (webpages and software), providing hands-on experience in performing sample size computations for real-world scenarios.

NOTE: Participants are required to have a laptop.


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

Overall Learning Objective
  1. Demonstrate an understanding to concepts related to sample size computation such as design effect, power, and significance level
  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. Use a combination of available software and online calculators to compute the sample size
  4. Determine how to adjust sample size computation for loss to follow-up or the presence of multiple outcomes
  5. Determine the number of participants needed for regression modeling
