The Unit presents on RCT evaluations

The Social Research Unit delivered two papers at the 6th Annual Conference on Randomised Controlled Trials in the Social Science at York, UK in September 2011 .

The first presentation was by Vashti Berry, Sarah Blower and Kate Tobin, examined the affect of fidelity on outcomes in the Unit's trials of the Triple P and Incredible Years parenting programmes in Birmingham, UK.
 
The second, by Nick Axford, set out the standards of evidence developed for the Evidence2Success project and explored the extent to which they have been met in randomised and quasi-experimental studies of over 80 programmes.
 
The Social Research Unit is currently completing three randomised controlled trials in Birmingham, UK, and information about them will appear on this site in due course.
