Model misspecification in stepped wedge trials: Random effects for time or treatment

Emily C. Voldal et al.

Summary: This article investigates the impact of choosing random time effects or random treatment effects in the analysis of stepped wedge trials using mixed models. It also explores the influence of model misspecification on the convergence of variance component estimates and the estimated variance of the treatment effect. The study found that choosing the wrong random effect can lead to biased inference results based on model-based standard errors. The article provides tools for researchers to conduct sensitivity analyses in specific scenarios and offers guidance for pre-specified model choices.

Mixed-effects models for the design and analysis of stepped wedge cluster randomized trials: An overview

Fan Li et al.

Summary: The stepped wedge cluster randomized design is gaining attention in pragmatic clinical trials and implementation science research. The design features clusters crossing over from control to intervention conditions in a unidirectional manner on a staggered schedule, which may confound intervention effects over time. This design first appeared in the Gambia hepatitis study in the 1980s, but the statistical model for its design and analysis was formally introduced in 2007. Various mixed-effects model extensions have since been proposed for the design and analysis of these trials.

Difference-in-Differences with multiple time periods

Brantly Callaway et al.

Summary: This article discusses identification, estimation, and inference procedures for treatment effect parameters using the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) method, which is applicable to multiple time periods, variation in treatment timing, and when the parallel trends assumption holds potentially only after conditioning on observed covariates. The proposed methods allow for highlighting treatment effect heterogeneity across different dimensions and summarizing the overall effect of participating in the treatment.

Inference for the treatment effect in longitudinal cluster randomized trials when treatment effect heterogeneity is ignored

Rhys Bowden et al.

Summary: Research suggests that failure to consider treatment effect heterogeneity in cluster-randomized trials leads to underestimated variance in treatment effect estimation, thereby inflating type I error rates.
