A primer for planning randomised studies of psychotherapeutic interventions

Studies involving randomisation are an integral part of strategies for the evaluation of (causal) effects of therapeutic strategies and interventions. This workshop will present the key elements and practical steps for planning, developing, conducting, and reporting randomised studies of psychological interventions. The core logic and statistical arguments for an experimental study of a psychological intervention will be briefly revisited to clarify when an experimental study (and which type of such a study) is indicated. The main part of the workshop will focus on how to plan, design, and report such a study, including formal requirements to conduct a high quality study (e.g., trial registrations, ethical requirements). We will discuss the use of international guidelines as well as how and when to prepare protocols, statistical analysis plans, and/or registered reports. The workshop is built around the experience from multiple published trials by the presenter and is planned for Q&A phases to tailor the content to the audience. The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with the tools to assess published randomised studies of psycho-social interventions and the steps and resources needed to develop their own study.
