A new command, clan, is introduced that conducts a cluster-level analysis of cluster randomized trials and simplifies adjusting for individual- and cluster- level covariates and can also account for a stratified design.

Abstract

In this article, we introduce a new command, clan, that conducts a cluster-level analysis of cluster randomized trials. The command simplifies adjusting for individual- and cluster-level covariates and can also account for a stratified design. It can be used to analyze a continuous, binary, or rate outcome.
