Intraclass correlation among measures related to tobacco use by adolescents: estimates, correlates, and applications in intervention studies

Article Abstract:

Community trial design in tobacco intervention studies must account for intact social group allocation for studying conditions and positive intraclass correlation. Estimates of intraclass correlation, such as rho and residual variance, are reduced through regression adjustment for covariates that are readily measured. This is useful for investigators planning future studies, as they can measure these covariates in their studies.
