“…for example, has sponsored numerous trials involving random allocation of individuals, teachers, or entire schools to different interventions. From 2002 to 2009, for instance, over 100 sizeable trials were mounted (Boruch, Weisburd, and Berk, 2010). This a marked increase from previous periods of time, though still not reaching the levels seen in the health fields.…”

This paper covers the topic of randomized controlled trials in social, educational, criminological, health, and other human service sectors. It is studded with illustrations from developed and developing countries. We address the basic ideas that underlie trials in different ways, and cover contemporary definitions and vernacular, some history, and idea of cumulating evidence from such trials including recent work on replication and meta-analyses. Standards for evidence and reporting are considered. We attend to statistical matters and also recognize important non-statistical matters that must be taken into account in designing and executing such trials. Cluster randomized, place randomized, and other designs for such trials are covered on account of their increasing importance.

“…• Numerous place randomized trials have been undertaken to understand whether intensive police patrol strategies in high crime neighborhoods prevent crime, and lead to no migration of criminals to more peaceful neighborhoods (Boruch, Weisburd and Berk, 2010). Positive results have helped to justify policing strategy targeting crime "hot spots" so as to reduce criminal activity.…”

“…We conducted a randomized experiment in Indiana during the 2010-2011 school year and included K-8 public schools that had volunteered to be part of the intervention in the spring of 2010. We used a cluster randomized design (see Boruch, Weisburd, & Berk, 2010) where schools were randomly assigned to a treatment or a control condition. The sample was drawn from a list of 157 schools that had volunteered in the spring of 2010 to participate in the interim assessments program in Indiana during the 2010-2011 school year.…”

This study discusses quantile regression methodology and its usefulness in education and social science research. First, quantile regression is defined and its advantages vis-à-vis vis ordinary least squares regression are illustrated. Second, specific comparisons are made between ordinary least squares and quantile regression methods. Third, the applicability of quantile regression to empirical work to estimate intervention effects is demonstrated using education data from a large-scale experiment. The estimation of quantile treatment effects at various quantiles in the presence of dropouts is also discussed. Quantile regression is especially suitable in examining predictor effects at various locations of the outcome distribution (e.g., lower and upper tails).
