Abstract: In this article, we introduce a new command, clan, that conducts a cluster-level analysis of cluster randomized trials. The command simplifies adjusting for individual- and cluster-level covariates and can also account for a stratified design. It can be used to analyze a continuous, binary, or rate outcome.

Keywords: clan; few clusters; analysis method; adjusting for covariates; stratified trial; group randomized trial; cluster randomized trial; cluster summary analysis (search for similar items in EconPapers)
