Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
sealed envelopes opened by person unaware of patient details
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Each person is randomised to treatment group separately from a store of sealed envelopes (15 control, 15 intervention) which are replenished after each person is randomised. That is, the selection of treatment group occurs in much the same way as if a coin was tossed. There is no blocking or stratification.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
