RCTs are the gold standard of evidence and their results are simple to interpret compared to other evaluation strategies. However, even with the most meticulously prepared plans, such valuable knowledge can be hard to acquire. In this session for policy makers, Michael Sanders and Raj Chande share anecdotes from trials run by BIT and some of the world's most distinguished researchers that turned out to be more complicated than anyone could have possibly imagined. Policymakers will learn lessons on RCT implementation that can't be found in any textbooks.
Speakers include: Raj Chande & Michael Sanders
