Consultation on Design of Group-Randomized Studies.

Optimal Design Software.
Optimal Design is a software package, developed by Stephen Raudenbush and colleagues, which helps researchers determine sample size, statistical power, and optimal allocation of resources for multi-level and longitudinal studies. This includes group-randomized trials, also called setting-level experiments. Version 2.0 was released in summer 2009. The software, a description of the updates from the previous version, and a manual containing software documentation are available for download.
