This year the WCTA research committee has made a significant addition to its goals. The new goal is "to define and contract out projects to better meet members specific needs." Basically the WCTA has allocated money for members to conduct their own trials. This article outlines some of the points that anybody designing a trial needs to consider before the test begins. The approach will be to refer to an example project to show how some the general points would apply to a specific trial.
Conclusions/results from project final reports summaries are published in the WCTA Annual Research Reports 1997-2003
