Abstract
The decision to randomize by clusters of subjects such as a classroom or clinic versus individual randomization where some contamination may occur is examined within the framework of sample size issues. Estimates for background rates and intraclass correlations are also provided for adolescent tobacco and alcohol outcomes derived from a recent study using cluster randomization.Keywords
