York Trials Unit
At the York Trials Unit we understand the key importance of high quality, scientifically rigorous, randomised controlled trials. Established in 1995 and based within the Department of Health Sciences, we provide support for trials external to the Unit and academic leadership for rigorous trial design, from a single service, such as telephone randomization, through to all aspects of trial management via our team of Research Fellows and support staff.
Undertaking experimental research, as well as observational and epidemiological studies, in collaboration with the York Trials Methods Group we also support and collaborate in the trials in education, criminal justice and psychology.
