Census 2001
DISABILITY STATUS OF PEOPLE OF INDIA
The Census exercise of 2001 is scheduled from 9 to 28 February. In India, the census forms a large exercise and data

derived therein will form the basis of planning for all development programmes. The National Sample Survey Organization
(NSSO) conducted sample surveys of people with disabilities across the country as part of census in 1991; and the
Governments of Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh have conducted statewide surveys. Needless to say that these and
other surveys conducted by research and academic institutions, surveys done as part of ICDS activity; polio lameness
surveys - form the only data available in India today regarding disability.

The Census Directorate, Government of India and various groups working for People with Disabilities need to be

congratulated for their efforts to include the enumeration of disabled people of our country. The National Council for
Promotion of Employment of People with Disabilities, Disability Rights Group (DRG) and other disabled persons

organisations have been instrumental in bringing the focus of the Government to this area, negotiating and ensuring its
incorporation as part of the census activity in 2001.

The disability census taking place in February 2001 not without a challenge. The challenge being:


People must be informed that disability status is part of Census 2001.



Enumerators must be alert and record the disability status of people.



People with disability, their kith and kin, their family members need to be informed that disability status is being

recorded and that they should give accurate information to the enumerators when they visit the homes.

Let us take proactive measures . . .
Since disability census is part of the national census for the first time, the Enumerators will also be recording disability
status for the first time. Hence the training is extremely important both for the Enumerators and their Supervisors, and
has to be effective at all levels - District, sub-divisional and block. To facilitate this, we have to:


ensure that a minimum of one day’s training is conducted at the Mandal level;



develop effective educational material like posters, handbills, flip charts, messages for AIR and Doordarshan, etc.



ensure that government circulars reach all officers of the machinery involved in the Census - specially the revenue,
and educational departments - all over the country it well in advance.



ensure that the educational material used for training - be it messages telecast, broadcast or published in the print
media - is uniform.



ensure that all NGOs, disabled persons’ organisations and people with disabilities are aware of the Census well in advance.

Role of NGOs, Disabled Persons’ Organisations:
With two months left for the Census, it is a essential that all NGOs and disabled persons’ organisations take up a

campaign, use the data gathered and develop community based rehabilitation strategies.

It is essential that we:


interact with the all departments like the Census Directorate, Department of Disabled Welfare, etc. handling disability,
as well as the officials concerned such as the Commissioner for Disabilities, thereby ensuring that a collective plan is
arrived at jointly by Government and NGOs.



focus specifically on development and production of training and educational material in local languages and ensure its
optimal use.




ensure that NGOs and disabled persons’ organisations participate in the training.
ensure that local groups - youth groups, raitha sanghas, womens’ groups, milk cooperatives and all community

groups - are informed, well in advance and that they join in the campaign to assist the enumerators, the community
and persons with disability.

Role of the Census Directorate and the Government Machinery:

*

To ensure training of enumerators and inform the community about enumeration of disabled people in the
forthcoming census.



Develop uniform messages for telecasting and broadcasting before and after the News and before the farmer’s
programme on AIR, every day during December, January and early February.



Ensure that NGOs and disabled persons’ organisations are involved in the design and production of training and
educational material; development of materials for nationwide telecast and broadcast; training of enumerators, education

of communities and persons with disabilities and their families.


Contact corporate agencies and enlist their support for production of Information, Educational and Communication
material on a large scale in local languages.



Allocate additional budget for training of

enumerators, personnel from publicity units like the print and

electronic media.



Ensure that revenue officers develop a communication and training strategy, well in advance for campaign activity
over the next two months.



Ensure that all state and central government machinery are iinformed
'

through circulars and meetings that
disability is part of census enumeration. This would involve all representatives, including panchayat representatives

SIGNIFICANCE AND NEW FEATURES
OF CENSUS 2001

dedi

HShashidhar, IAS
Director ofCensus
Operations, Karnataka

Once again after 10 years die one hundred and thirty years bld, gigantic and great
tn

.

Indian Census Organisation is mobilisipg all its men (and women), material and money to

undertake the biggest administrative exercise in the World Le., die Census of India 2001

during February 9th to 28th, 2001. The rignificance of Census 2001 lies in the feci that it

is the first Census of the twenty-first century and third miUeanium. Giving complete
account of the socio-economic, development and demog.’qdric health of die ever
burgeoning population of India, the Census 2001 will servi as a historic bench mark for
ths coming decades. It will be the 14th decennial Census of India since 1871 and sixth

since Independence.

The Census 2001 has many firsts to its credit. For the first time an unprecedented
strength of over two million people will be appointed and trained to rsach and capture
information from an anticipated 1000 million or 100 crore or one billion phis people

living in India as on 1st March, 2001. This whopping population living in 26 States, 6

Union Territories, 593 Districts, around 5,500 Taluks,

5,100 Cities & Towns and

6,83,000 Villages will have to be counted. Every child, woman, nan eunuch and
hermaphrodite regardless of age, sex and nationality will have to be enumerated without

omission or duplication. Indeed, it is a stupendous task. The Indian Census Organisation
has the expertise, experience and competence to undertake this task

2

The Indian Census has two phases. First or preliminary phase referred as t$k
Houschsting Operation during which information on housing and household amenirigs is

captured was held throughout the Country during April to June, 2000. Second or theJ*’
mam phase known as the Population Enumeration will be held (except Jammu and
Kashmir) between 9th and 28th February, 2001. The houseless households will fee
enumerated on the night of 28th February, 2001.
;■

.



'



■■

•••

One of dm main features of the ensuing Census is die reduction m the number of
questionnaires or schedules used. In the previous Census, three schedules, namely the

houselist schedule, household schedule and individual slip were used to gather
■ >

**

; miormatron. But in this Census, since the individual slip has been done away with, only
two schedules le., the hotirelist schedule and the household schedule are going to be

used. The individual particulars will be collected in the household schedule itself.

'

-7 -

• . J

Another prominent feature of the Census 2001 is the dropping of the Economic

Census which used to be held alongwith the houschsting operation in the previous
Census. Similarly, the preparation of PGDHIP cards (Post Graduate and Degree Holders

and Technical Personnel), for which information used to be collected rftiring die
Population Enumeration has also been dropped fiom this Census.




\ •

■. •

'



*

I •

Yet another important feature of this Census is die introduction of certain new and
relevant questions both for the Houselisting Operation and the Population Enumeration.
The new questions in addition to the modifications of old ones, enhance the utility of

Census 2001 and takes it beyond a head count of population.

*

3

The Houselisting Operation included questions for the first time on (1) condition

of the house, (2) number of married couples living in the household, (3) number of
married couples having independent rooms, (4) drainage facilities, (5) bathroom within
the house, (6) kitchen within the house, (7) possession of Radio/Transistor/
Television/Telephone by the household,

(8) possession of transport vehicle such as

Bicycle/Scooter/Motor Cycle/Moped/Car/Jeep by the household and (9) Banking services

availed by the household.

Similarly, the Population Enumeration between 9th and 28th Feb., 2001 will have
questions for the time on (1) name of respondent and the relationship to head, (2) age of

marriage for males also, (3) disabilities, (4) travel to work place, distance and mode of
travel, (5) household engaged in cultivation and plantation and (6) dated signature or

thump impression of the respondent.

Census 2001 is expected to bring in a sort of technological revolution for in die
history of Indian Census. The questions in the schedules are self coded to make them
processor friendly. Latest image-based scanning technology will be tried for the first

time by the Census Organisation which should substantially speed up processing,

tabulation and publication of data.

Census of India 2001, a new road map to India's future is nothing but history in

the making. Glorious tradition is its' main strength.

PURPOSE OF THE SEMINAR

This seminar alms to bring awareness amongst the Organisations working
for the welfare of the disabled on one hand and the people on the other. The office
.-.A-*’



■”

bearers of . about 250 Organisations spread over the State of Karnataka have been

invited to participate in the Seminar, it is envisaged that these office bearers would get
back to their districts and spread the message of Census in general and the

enumeration of the disabled in particular in Census of India 2001 so that all the disabled
are covered.
Disability is one of the challenging and prominent social problems. Questions on

disability are always sensitive. If questions are not asked carefully and delicately, the
respondent or any member of the household will get offended. Therefore the

Enumerator who seeks information on the type of disability has to be doubly
cautions, sensitive and full of empathy witli a lot of patience. The Enumerator
should try to explain the actual purpose of the question of disability by emphasizing that

the information collected would help the governments and voluntary organisations in

planning for the welfare of the disabled.
Voluntary organisations working for the welfare of the disabled can help the
Enumerator in identifying and providing the addresses particularly the children and

woman among the disabled, in their area of operation They can also motivate the

members in the household of the disabled to provide correct information without any
hesitation and reservation

These organisations with their network of grassroot level

workers should be in a position to reach out to the people and help in making the

Census a success.
Help of other voluntary organisations working for the rehabilitation in areas
such as child abuse and child labour, prostitutes, violence against women,

juvenile delinquency, beggary, family welfare, crime and criminals, AIDS, drug

abuse, bonded labour and other social problems will also be sought by this
Directorate.

3

Media's role can hardly be over-emphasized. They have the ability to bring the
theme and spirit of Census to the centre stage. This helps the people to actively and
willingly participate in the Census Operations and thereby help the Census Organisation

in their endeavour.
The Seminar thus envisages to achieve all these and to launch publicity

measures to bring awareness among the public about the Census of the disabled in

particular and the Census in general.

QUESTION ON PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED IN CENSUS 1981

Since Independence, question on disability was canvassed only in 1981
Census. As part of the 1981 Census for the first time in addition to the listing of

houses, some essential data on the Physically Handicapped which were badly wanted
for planning for this' disadvantage group was collected through Houselist.

The

information so collected was about the number of those who are totally blind / crippled/
dumb.

The term Totally Crippled was referred to such persons who had lost their arms
or limbs. The loss of either of the arms or legs was sufficient for classification was totally
crippled. However, the loss of only one arm and / or one leg was not classified as

totally crippled. The paralytic who will have lost the use of both the legs and both the

arms was also treated as totally crippled

Though the legs or arms were physically

present in case of persons who have more than one of the disabilities mentioned

above, the greater disability was considered for the purpose A person who was blind
or crippled due to old age was also treated as disable person.
QUESTION ON DISABILITY IN CENSUS 2001

The question on disability is very sensitive. The Enumerators will be repeatedly

instructed to be very polite and careful in eliciting the information to answer this question.

It is proposed to identify in each State slum areas in all Municipal
Towns having a population of 50,000 or more as per the 1991
Census. Slum Enumeration Blocks with a population size of 650750 each would be formed separately to generate data on slums.

SIZE OF ENUMERATION BLOCKS
During 1991 Census, for the Houselisting Operations the
population size of Rural Blocks was kept between 750 to 1000 in
rural areas and 600 to 800 in urban areas depending on the
operational convenience. For enumeration, it was approximately
around 800 and 700 respectively. For Census of India 2001, the
population size per block would be between 650 and 750 per
Enumerator.

VILLAGE PERMANENT LOCATON CODE NUMBERS

For the first time, village Permanent Location Code Numbers are
being allotted. Location Code is a simple device by which every
area comprised in any administrative unit can’be identified by
assigning specific code numbers for different levels of
administrative units -Permanent location code numbers have been
given to all the 29,454 villages in Karnataka.

CENSUS OF INDIA 2001 : A STUPENDOUS

- AN OVERVIEW

PEOPLE ORIENTED

H.Shashidhar, ias
Director of Census
Operations, Karnataka

INTRODUCTION

The countdown has begun for the next Census in 2001. The 2001 Census,
coming at the commencement of the twenty-first century and the third millennium, will

quietly register the^ Indian Population crossing the one billion mark. This Indian
population drama will soon unfold in the guise of Census figures and statistics once
again after ten years and remind us to review the successes and failures of India's

people, policies and programmes. It is likely to evoke world-wide interest in reassessing
India's position among the developing countries. Therefore, reaching or counting one

billion = 1000 million = 100 crore is not about numbers. It is beyond that It is

about a multidimensional move from numbers to population to people.

HISTORY OF INDIAN CENSUS

Census has a long history behind it, being primarily used for purpose of taxation.
Kautilya's Arthasastra written around 321-296 B.C. laid stress on Census taking as a

measure of State Policy for purpose of taxation. Originally, thus, Census and taxation
were virtually inseparable. In India the year 1872 marked the beginning of Census

2

taking. From 1881 onwards, however, a complete and synchronous Census has been

held once in ten years without break. India is proud of long and uninterrupted record of
decennial Censuses since 1871. The Census of India 2001 will be the 14lh decennial
Census since 1871 and the 6th Census since Independence.

MODERN CONCEPTS OF A POPULATION CENSUS

«>-

The modem concepts of a Population census has been very well defined by the

United Nations. It states, "a census of population may be defined as the total process of
collecting, compiling and publishing demographic, economic and social data pertaining
at a specified time or times, to all persons in a country or delimited territory". The Indian
Census has been adopting this in letter and spirit There is hardly any country in

the world today which does not take Census.

AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT CENSUS AND THE CENSUS ACT, 1948

<»-

The authority to conduct Census in India comes from Article 246 of the

Constitution of India. This article empowers the Parliament to make laws with respect
to any of the matters enumerated in the List-1 in the Seventh Schedule referred to as

'Union List’ and the subject 'Census', figures at Serial No.69 in the List. Accordingly, the

Indian Parliament made 'The Census Act, 1948* (Act No.37 of 1948) which provides "for
the taking of Census in India or any part thereof whenever necessary or desirable and to
promote for certain matters for taking such Census"

3

tr

The Census Act of 1948 makes it obligatory for a person assigned with Census

duty to perform the same faithfully and diligently. It also makes it obligatory for the

person to answer all the questions correctly and fully. While giving any information to the
Census Enumerators, the public need not have any hesitation or reservation as the

Census Act guarantees the confidentiality of the information and total non­
identification of the individual.

ROLE OF STATE AND CENTRAL GOVERNMENTS

<3-

Coming under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, at the National

level, the Census Organisation is headed by the Registrar General and Census
Commissioner of India. There is a separate Directorate in each State and Union Territory

to carry out the Census Operation. The Directorate of Census Operations in Karnataka

with the active help and support of the State Government is making all necessary
arrangements for the 2001 Census.
APART FROM BEING A MAJOR ADMINISTRATIVE FEAT

Perhaps no other account about the Indian Census is as complete and
comprehensive as the one given by renowned economist Ashish Bose. To quote him

. apart from being a major administrative feat in a country of India's size and diversity;
the Census possess an intellectual validity to planners, policy makers, administrators,
economists, statisticians,, researchers and others to address themselves to the ever
changing demographic, development, social and economic questions of our country

Further, " the Indian Census is a monumental affair" he said.

4
WEALTH OF INFORMATION

o-

Apart from being the biggest administrative exercise in the world, the Indian

Census is "one of country's most remarkable events and universally acknowledged as
the most authentic and comprehensive source of information about our land and

people",
•9-

Information on the Indian Census, considered to be a treasure house of

multidimensional data is known for "its range and scope encompassing demographic,
economic, social and cultural characteristics, fertility and mortality, nuptiality, scheduled
caste, tribe, language, religion, migration, education, health, communication, child
labour, employment, ageing, housing, household amenities, organisation infrastructure

and many more issues. You name it, Census has it". This huge database is a veritable
mine of information, the value of which has not been fully realised, let alone

utilised. It is a case of poverty amidst plenty.

•9-

The source on Indian Census is in plenty and is available in the form of

published reports, CD-Roms, internet, floppy, e-mail, etc., at:

UTILITY OF CENSUS DATA
•9-

The utility of the Indian Census data can hardly be over emphasized. They are

used in administration and policy; for research purposes; in business and industries; as

frame for sample surveys; in planning; basis for representation in parliament /
assemblies / urban local bodies / Panchayat Raj Systems and for other democratic

5

purposes; to other types of census; to Civil Registration and Vital Statistics and in many

others.

HOW CENSUS IS TAKEN

«-

Before the commencement of the enumeration, a tremendous amount of spade

work has to be done. This includes listing of all villages along with hamlets, if any, towns
in every taluk and district and identifying them in suitble maps indicating the boundaries

of all the administrative units. This frames the basic task and facilitates the operation, to

conduct the census in a systematic manner without any overlapping or omission. This
frame with reference to 1991 Census, has to be continuously updated by taking into

account the changes that occurred and occurring in the jurisdiction of State / District /

Taluk / Town / Village from time to time upto a certain date. It is a massive administrative
operation involving a network of intricate steps which have been carefully planned and
worked out to a definite time schedule on a war footing. Therefore, demands on time are

numerous and exact.

SIGNIFICANCE OF CENSUS OF INDIA 2001

«»-

Once again after 10 years the 130 years old, gigantic and great Indian Census

Organisation is mobilising all its women and men, material and money to undertake the
biggest administrative exercise in the World i.e.,

the Census of India 2001 during

February Sth to 28th, 2001. The significance of Census 2001 lies in the fact that it

is the first Census of the twenty-first century and the third millennium. Giving
complete

account of the socio-economic, development and demographic health

of the ever burgeoning population of India, the Census 2001 will serve as a

6

historic bench mark for the coming decades. It will be the 14th decennial Census

of India since 1871 and sixth since Independence.

PHASES OF CENSUS 2001

qp’

The Indian Census has two phases

First or preliminary phase referred as

the Houselisting Operation during which information on housing and household
amenities is captured was held throughout the Country during April to June, 2000.

Second

or the main phase known as the Population Enumeration will be held

(except Jammu and Kashmir) between 9th and 28th February, 2001.

The houseless

households will be enumerated on the night of 28th February, 2001. The Population
Enumeration in Jammu & Kashmir and snow bound areas of Himachal Pradesh and

Uttar Pradesh has already been completed.

MAIN FEATURES - THE SCHEDULES USED IN CENSUS 2001

<9-

One of the main features of the ensuing Census is the reduction in the number of

questionnaires or schedules used. In the previous Census, three schedules, namely the
houselist schedule, household schedule and individual slip were used to gather

information. But in this Census, since the individual slip has been done away with, only
two schedules i.e., the houselist schedule and the household schedule are going to be
used. The individual particulars will be collected in the household schedule itself

<9-

Another prominent feature of the Census 2001 is the dropping of the Economic

Census which used to be held alongwith the houselisting operation in the previous

Censuses.

Similarly, the preparation of PGDHTP cards (Post Graduate and Degree

Holders and Technical Personnel), for which information used to be collected during the

Population Enumeration has also been dropped from this Census.

Yet another important feature of this Census is the introduction of certain new

and relevant questions both for the Hodselisting Operation and the Population
Enumeration. The new questions in addition to the modifications of old ones, enhance
the utility of Census 2001 and takes it beyond a head count of population.

NEW ITEMS IN HOUSELISTING OPERATION OF CENSUS 2001

The Houselisting Operation included questions for the first time on (1) condition
of the house, (2) number of married couples living in the household, (3) number of

married couples having independent rooms, (4) drainage facilities, (5) bathroom within
the house,

(6) kitchen within the house,

Television/Telephone by the household,

(7) possession

of Radio/Transistor/

(8) possession of transport vehicle such as

Bicycle/Scooter/Motor Cycle/Moped/Car/Jeep by the household and (9) Banking
services availed by the household.

NEW ITEMS IN POPULATION ENUMERATION OF CENSUS 2001

car

Similarly, the Population Enumeration scheduled to be held between 9th and

28th Feb., 2001 will have questions for the first time on (1) name of respondent and the

relationship to head, (2) age of marriage for males also, (3) disabilities, (4) travel to
work place, distance and mode of travel, (5) household engaged in cultivation and

plantation and (6) dated signature or thumb impression of the respondent.

8

THE TASK AHEAD

The Census 2001 has many firsts to its credit.

For the first time an

unprecedented strength of over two million people are being appointed and
trained to capture information from an anticipated 1000 million or 100 crore or one
billion plus people living in India as on 1st March, 2001. Every child, woman and

man regardless of age, sex and nationality will have to be enumerated without omission

or duplication. Indeed, it is a stupendous task. The Indian Census Organisation has the
expertise, experience and competence to undertake this task.

In the Census of India 2001. the Indian Census Organisation has been given the

following stupendous task.

1.

Cover every nook and corner of all the 27 States, 6 Union Territories,

593 Districts, around 5500 Taluks, 5100 Cities and Towns and 6,38,000
Villages in the country.

2

In the projected One billion plus population of India,

count every

individual i.e., every child, woman and man (even those who don't want to
be counted) regardless of age or sex or nationality without omission or

duplication.
3.

Identify and appoint more than two million Census staff and train them to

undertake this huge administrative operation during 9th to 28th February,
2001.

Enumerate all the Houseless households on the night of 28th

February, 2001. The reference time and date being 00.00 hrs (midnight)

of 1st March 2001.

4

Maintain confidentiality of the information and total non-identification of
the individual or the household who provides information to the

enumerator.

9

5.

Data so collected to be compiled and tabulated for preparing and
publishing written reports including statements, tables and maps.

6.

Provide the general public and data users with published reports, CD

ROMs, floppies, internet and through other media with summary data at
the Country / State / Union Territory / District / City /Taluk / Town / Village

level.

TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION

«>-

Census 2001 is expected to bring in a sort of technological revolution in the

history of Indian Census. The questions in the schedules are self coded to make them

processor friendly. Latest image-based scanning technology will be tried for the first
time by the Census Organisation which should substantially speed up processing,
tabulation and publication of data.

CENSUS 2001 IN KARNATAKA

<>■

The Houselisting Operation in Karnataka was undertaken in May-June 2000 and

the preparations for the Population Enumeration to be held from 9lh February to 28,h

February 2001 are under way.

The preparations for taking the Population Enumeration in Karnataka are under
way. In our State, this gigantic task would have an army of more than a lakh

Enumerators and Supervisors, who would move from house to house covering six City
Municipal Corporations, nearly 300 urban local bodies over 29,480 villages and 28,300
hamlets spread over the entire length and breadth of Karnataka. Every child, woman and
man regardless of sex, age and citizenship status in an anticipated population of 535

million in Karnataka will be counted without omission and duplication.

10

Karnataka has an excellent record of Census taking. It Js needless to emphasise

the fact that the success of the 2001 Census largely depends on the willing and

enthusiastic co-operation of the people, media, government and non-governmental
agencies associated in this stupendous national task.

<>-

Therefore, every citizen should extend fullest co-operation and support for

performing in what has been considered as a largest administrative operation in the

world.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

<>-

Census will help to grasp the gravity of socio-economic and demographic

problems of our society. The unchecked and rapid growth of population in India carries
along with it multi-dimensional problems such as disability, unemployment, lack of

education, sub-standard health services and sanitation, inadequate welfare measures,
child labour, the poor status of women in general,

inadequate housing and

transportation, urban ward migration and its effects and so on. The Census 2001 throws

light on all these problems directly or indirectly. No section of the society remains
untouched by the Census statistics, which is the ultimate aim and utility of Census

<&-

Thus, Census of India 2001, a new road map to India’s future is nothing but

history in the making. Glorious tradition is its' main strength.

POPULATION ENUMERATION CIRCULAR NO.13

SUB : CENSUS OF INDIA 2001 - PUBLICITY PLAN FOR POPULATION ENUMERATION

INTRODUCTION

This is yet another important Population Enumeration

Circular which requires your

personal attention for compliance.

2

The countdown has begun for the Population Enumeration for Census of India 2001. By

now it is hoped, you must have intensified the preparations for the actual operation. Nevertheless,
a very important factor i.e. publicity needs to be intensified now so as to draw interest of the

people at large who are the respondents in this massive task. The publicity campaign should
be such that it reaches people of even the farthest villages.

i

7

NEED OF THE HOUR

3

The Census Co-ordination Committee formed in the District/ Taluk are to be activated

and various other departments in the district should be made to actively associate in the publicity

programme by exhibiting Census messages in their offices and other public places to bring

awareness among public about Population Enumeration.

4.

Frequent meetings regarding organisational set up should be conducted to review the

progress achieved on various items of work regarding Population Enumeration and reported to
this Directorate.

5.

For

vigorous

publicity

messages of Census through

campaign in the

rural

and

urban charges

announcing

Public Address System by authorised persons near important

public places like Railway Station, Bus Stand, Market place, places of worship etc., using easy
mode of available transport should be resorted to.

6.

Apart from those referred above, there may also be other effective conventional media

through which you feel can carry the Census message down to the villager.

You may do so.

The main purpose is to bring awareness among public about the importance of Census and

make them realise their responsibility and co-operate in this gigantic task by furnishing correct

information.

7.

To achieve this all out effort at all levels is the need of the hour.

3

PUBLICITY PLAN THROUGH DIFFERENT MEDIA
8.

Cloth Banners / Hoardings / Posters / Pamphlets and handouts ; Cloth Banners with
T



Census messages and slogans are required to be displayed in prominent junctions in the city viz.,
Railway Stations, Bus Stands, important road junctions etc.

Visual publicity through posters

conveying Census theme is an important tool of communication.

It is less expensive but very

effective. Hence the Principal Census Officers may find out sources for getting maximum

number of posters printed and get displayed at important places in the Districts, Taluks and

Villages.

Financial commitments have to be met indigenously. Efforts need to be made to get

pamphlets and handouts printed locally and distributed to the people. This approach of publicity is
very economical and most effective in the rural side.

For all these, local organisations may be requested to sponsor.

9.

Participation in Fairs and Exhibitions :

Participation

in fairs

and exhibitions and

displaying Census posters/ materials give magical returns both at rural and urban areas. The

period from November to February basically being festival season in our country, many fairs and
exhibitions take place in the towns and villages across the countryside. The Principal Census

Officers are requested to avail these opportunities and exert efforts for spreading the message
regarding importance of Census and peoples' participation in the national task.

10.

Beating of Drum : The Village Panchayat may be requested to spread the message of

Census through the cross section of the village. This needs to be done for a continuous period

from January 2001 till the end of February 2001
i

4

11.

Local Cable TV : Census slogans and messages are to be telecast through local

cable TV. This is one of the most effective media. The Principal Census Officers are required to

impress upon the Cable TV owners regarding their participation in this national task and utilize
their services for spreading the message of Census taking.

12.

Cinema Slides : Cinema Slides with Census theme will

Karnataka.

be

provided

by

DCO,

These slides need to be properly distributed to different Cinema Halls in the

Districts/Taluks with instructions to project the slides before the start of film shows and during
‘intermission’of the film shows from 1 st December, 2000 to 5th March, 2001.

13.

State Level Essay Competition : The Director of Census Operations has already

issued a Circular regarding Taluk and District Level Essay Competition in both Kannada and
English. The modalities for the event have been detailed in the Circular. Wide publicity for Essay

Competition needs to be given so that maximum number of entries are received.

Procedural

details have been circulated separately.

14.

District and State Level Elocution Competitions : The Director of Census Operations

has already issued a Circular regarding Taluk and District level elocution competitions.

The

Principal Census Officers are required to make this competition a great success. The procedure

for conducting this competition has already been circulated separately.

15.

Seminars : With the help of District Information and Publicity Officers, District level and

Taluk Level seminars are required to be organised on Census 2001 to bring awareness among
people so that they are motivated to actively and willingly participate in this national task.
Necessary literature is being supplied.

5

16.

Press Meetings : Press meetings at regular intervals at District and Charge level may be

arranged and information be given regarding' organisational and other arrangements made for

conducting Census 2001. It needs to be emphasized that Census is people oriented and hence

to reap the fruit of Census,

people need

to

participate and co-operate with the

Census

authorities whenever they are called upon.

17.

Press Notes : Series of Press Notes will be prepared by the Directorate of Census

Operations, Karnataka on different aspects and features of Census of India 2001. Copies will be

sent to all the Principal Census Officers, District Information and Publicity Officers etc. These
Press notes may be got released in prominent District Newspapers.

QUIZ ON "KNOW YOUR FAMILY”

18.

Students tn all schools in different classes should be first asked to get the details about

their family by questioning each of the family members as under:
(1)

Who are the members in your household ?

(2)

What is your relationship to the head of household ?

(3)

What is your age & religion ?

(4)

Do you belong to Scheduled Castes /Scheduled Tribes ?

(5)

Can you read and write ?

(6)

Do you have any type of disability ?

(7)

(12)

If married female, how many children were born to you ?

(13)

How much land do you have ?

19.

This should also be taken up by the officers of the Education department at the taluk and

district level. These should be then discussed with them by the teachers in a specific period to
make the students acquainted with the questions. This procedure helps the students to know

about themselves and their families and would help increase their confidence and develop their
personality.

20.

To assess the knowledge of the students towards their family members it is felt necessary

that a Quiz Competition is to be conducted in the schools. For this purpose groups by age

category may be formed. To the qualifying students token awards may also be given

21. Newspaper Articles : This Directorate will be releasing Press Notes and Articles in leading

Newspapers from December 2000 and continue till the end of Population Enumeration.

22.

Newspaper Advertisement : Messages both in English and vernacular language

regarding conduct of Population Enumeration will be published just before commencement of

Population Enumeration.

Enumeration, Messages from Hon’ble

Governor

Population

Publicity Through AIR : Apart from regular radio talk by experts on Census subject

messages from celebrities from different walks of life will be broadcast in prime chunks of AIR
programmes. Small skits of 15 minute duration and Census jingles are proposed to be broadcast.

It is also proposed to compose a thematic music (signature tune) and broadcast each time a
>-

Census message is in the air. During the operation of Population Enumeration, the AIR news

will carry out Census news at frequent intervals. Details are being worked out.

25.

Publicity Through TV : Messages from Hon'ble Governor and Hon'ble Chief Minister

will be beamed through TV. Also, Census messages from popular celebrities informing the
importance of Census in Nation's Development and people's participation will be telecast before
and during the operation of Population Enumeration. Audio Video Spots on Census theme are
also proposed to be beamed through TV. A signature tune is proposed to be composed and

played during the telecast of Census messages over TV. Details are being worked out.

YOUR ROLE

26.

Various methods through which publicity could be undertaken are detailed in this circular.

Some of these measures will betaken care of by the Registrar General, India and some by this

Directorate.

However, publicity through Press Notes, Press Meetings, Elocution Competition,

Newspaper Articles, Banners / Hoardings, utilising the services of Charge Officers, Beating of
Drums, participation in Fairs and Exhibitions and printing and distribution of Pamphlets and
Handouts are the areas where the Commissioners and Principal Census Officers of Municipal
Corporations, the Deputy Commissioners and Principal Census Officers of the District / Chief

Executive Officers and Additional.

Principal Census Officers of Zilla Panchayats, can play an

effective role in sensitising the people about the concept, utility and purpose of the Census

important that publicity of these features of the Population Enumeration schedule is taken up in
its right spirit for capturing accurate data.

1. Introduction

1. The Problem in International Policy Analysis:

CAN SOLUTIONS FOR POLICY PROBLEMS,
PROVEN TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOME COUNTRIES,
BE APPLIED TO SOLVE THE SAME POLICY PROBLEMS
IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
2. What can we learn from the methodology of comparative
(social or policy research to answer this central question?

3. Types of (comparative) policy research

a. descriptive analysis (establishing statistical relations between
different variables).
b. explanatory analysis (explaining dependent variables by
independent variables by the logic of theory: causal modelling,
and by empirical testing of these causal models).
c. prescriptive analysis (translating causal models in final
models, translating cause-effect relations in instrument-goal
relations).

results are obtained. These include the selection of the study population,
allocation of the treatment regimens, maintenance and assessment of
compliance, and achieving high and uniform rates of ascertainment of
outcomes.
Selection of a Study Population

The groups of individuals among whom an intervention study is con­
ducted are derived from a number of interrelated populations, which
can be considered as a population hierarchy (Fig. 8-1). The reference
population is the general group to whom the investigators expect the
results of the particular trial to be applicable. The reference population
may include all human beings, if it seems likely that the study f indings
are universally applicable. Conversely, the reference population may be
restricted by geography, age, sex, or any other characteristic that is
thought to modify the existence or magnitude of the effects seen in the
trial. Thus, the reference population represents the scope of the public
health impact of the intervention. For example, the Physicians’ Health
Study [19] is a randomized trial of aspirin in the reduction of total car­
diovascular mortality and beta-carotene in decreasing cancer incidence
that is being conducted among over 22,000 male physicians aged 40 to
84 years in the U.S. There seems to be no reason to believe that the

effects of either aspirin or beta-carotene would be inherently different
among male physicians in the U.S. than in a comparable group of males
who are not physicians or even among those who do not live in the U.S.
Therefore, the reference population of this trial may reasonably include
all men 40 years of age and older. While some may consider the refer­
ence population to be as broad as all people over 40 years of age, others
might be unwilling to generalize the findings of this trial to women.
Thus, the reference population is related to the issue of generalizability,
which involves a judgment about an intervention based on considera­
tions beyond the data from an individual trial.
The experimental population is the actual group in which the trial is
conducted. While, in general, it is preferable that this group not differ
from the reference population in such a way that generalizability to the
latter is not possible, the primary consideration in the design of the trial
should always be to obtain a valid result. The selection of the experi­
mental population is crucial to achieving that aim and involves consid­
eration of each of several important issues. First, it is essential to deter­
mine whether the proposed experimental population is sufficiently large
to achieve the necessary sample size for the trial. For example, in consid­
ering design features for a trial of intravenous streptokinase therapy in
acute myocardial infarction to decrease subsequent cardiovascular mor­
tality, a single hospital would certainly not admit enough patients to per­
mit enrollment of the requisite number of participants to test the hy­
pothesis of a small to moderate benefit, even within a study period of
several years. It would therefore be necessary to design a mullicenter
trial, including a number of hospitals in the community, across the coun­
try, or throughout the world. Such a study is currently underway in 15
countries and expects to enroll perhaps 20,000 patients over 2 years
[24].
Analogously, it is essential to choosv an experimental population that
will experience a sufficient number of the end points or outcomes of
interest to permit meaningful comparisons between various treatments
or procedures within a reasonable period of lime. For example, if a pri­
mary prevention trial of regular aspirin consumption in reducing the
risk of total cardiovascular mortality were conducted among a group of
20,000 women under age 40, it would take several decades to accumu­
late sufficient end points to test the hypothesis because of the relatively
low frequency of this disease in this population. In contrast, a similar
trial conducted among men aged 40 and over could provide sound evi­
dence on this question after several years, since total cardiovascular dis­
ease death rates are several-fold higher in men than women and increase
markedly in middle age. A third major concern is the likelihood of ob­
taining complete and accurate follow-up information for the duration
of the trial. A long-term trial conducted among a highly mobile group
such as college students or a study requiring frequent clinic visits among

I

18^//. TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

a group of infirm elderly subjects might result in low follow-up rates,
which would render the findings uninterpretable.
In designing the Physicians’ Health Study [19], for example, the con­
siderations described above contributed to the choice of doctors as the
experimental population. The number of willing and eligible physicians
in the age groups at risk of death from cardiovascular disease as well as
the development of cancer seemed sufficient for an adequate test of
each hypothesis. Moreover, because of their training, doctors would be
able to recognize any side effects of the agents promptly. They are also
well aware of their medical history and health status and would report
this information with a high degree of accuracy and detail. Finally, since
physicians are less mobile and easier to trace than members of the gen­
eral population, a high rate of follow-up could be attained, even for an
extended duration of the trial. Pilot studies conducted among random
samples of this group also indicated a high degree of compliance with
the study regimen as well as adherence to the trial protocol, which in­
cluded the completion of follow-up questionnaires. Thus, the trial could
be conducted entirely by mail at a small fraction of the usual cost for
previous intervention studies of primary prevention [18]. These general
considerations must all be addressed in the design phase of any trial, to
avoid the possibility of wasting valuable time and resources on studies
that cannot provide either a definitive positive finding or a null result
that is truly informative.
Once the experimental population has been defined, subjects must
then be invited to participate after being fully informed as to the pur­
poses of the trial, the study procedures, and the possible risks and ben­
efits. If appropriate, this information will include knowledge that they
may be allocated to a group receiving no active treatment and that they
may not know the treatment they received until the end of the trial.
Those willing to participate must then be screened for eligibility accord­
ing to predetermined criteria. Reasons for exclusion from the trial may
include factors such as a previous history of any end points under study,
a definite need for the study treatments, as well as contraindications to
their use. Those who are eventually determined to be both willing and
eligible to enroll in the trial compose the actual study population and
are often a relatively small subgroup of the experimental population.
For example, as shown in Figure 8-2, in the Hypertension Detection and
Follow'-Up Program (HDFP) [23], a randomized trial testing a steppedcare approach compared with usual medical care to treat hypertension,
an initial enumeration of the populations of the 14 participating com­
munities identified a total of 178,009 men and women in the eligible age
range, 30 to 69 years. Of these potentially eligible subjects, 158,906 com­
pleted a first screen, and 22,978 were found to have diastolic blood pres­
sures of at least 95 mm Hg. Subsequently, 17,176
these individuals
completed a second screen to establish the final i
.y population of

10,940 persons with diastolic blood pressures greater than or equal to
90 mm Hg who were both willing and eligible to participate in the trial.
Thus, only 6.1 percent of the total experimental population formed the
study population for the HDFP.
The actual study population of a trial is often not only a relatively
small but also a select subgroup of the experimental population. It is
well recognized that those who participate in an intervention study are
very likely to differ from nonparticipants in many ways that may affect
the rate of development of the end points under investigation [16].
Among all who are eligible, those willing to participate in clinical trials
tend to experience lower morbidity and mortality rates than those w'ho
do not, regardless not only of the hypothesis under study, but of the
actual treatment to which they are assigned [44]. Volunteerism is likely
to be associated with age, sex, socioeconomic status, education and other,
less well-defined correlates of health consciousness that might signifi­
cantly influence subsequent morbidity and mortality. Whether the
subgroup of participants is representative of the entire experimental
population will not af fect the validity of the results of a trial conducted
among that group, h
'y, however, af fect the ability to generalize those
results to either the experimental or the reference population.

186 II. TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

If it is possible to obtain baseline data and/or to ascertain outcomes
for subjects who are eligible but unwilling to participate, such informa­
tion is extremely valuable to assess the presence and extent of differ­
ences between participants and nonparticipants in a particular trial. This
will aid in the judgment of whether the results among trial participants
are generalizable to the reference population. For example, in the pre­
viously discussed CASS trial [6], 780 patients at 11 participating institu­
tions entered the trial and were randomized to either coronary artery
bypass surgery or medical management. An additional 1315 patients at
the same institutions met the randomization criteria but were unwilling
to participate. Of these 1315 eligible but unwilling patients, 435 started
with surgical therapy, and 880 received medical treatment. These 1315
eligible/unwilling patients were compared with the 780 eligible/willing
patients regarding a number of baseline characteristics such as demo­
graphic factors, medical history, extent of disease, and life-style vari­
ables, and all were followed for an average of 5 years. The investigators
found that the entry characteristics of randomized patients were gen­
erally similar to those of eligible but unwilling patients. Moreover, mor­
tality rates in both the randomized and nonrandomized groups of med­
ically treated patients were similar, as were those for the two groups of
surgically treated subjects [7], These data indicate that those who were
willing to enter the CASS trial do not appear to have been a special
subset of those eligible for randomization but seemed representative of
all eligible patients. The availability of these data strengthen the belief
that the study results are generalizable beyond the trial population.

Allocation of Study Regimens
Since participants and nonparticipants may differ in important ways re­
lated to the outcome under study, allocation into the various treatmem
groups should take place only after subjects have been determined to be
eligible and have expressed a willingness to participate (see fig. 8-1).
The effects of a treatment, procedure, or program can be compared
with those of one or more of a variety of groups, such as another dosage
of the same drug, another therapy or program, continuation of standard
medical practice, or a placebo. To maximize the probability that the
groups receiving these differing interventions will be comparable, as­
signment to a study group should be at random. Random assignment
implies that each individual has the same chance of receiving each of the
possible treatments and that the probability that a given subject will re­
ceive a particular allocation is independent of the probability that any
other subject will receive the same treatment assignment. The two meth­
ods most commonly used to achieve this objective are the use of a table
of random numbers or the use of a computer-generated randomization

list. In addition, when the outcome under study is anticipated to vary
appreciably in frequency among subgroups of the study population, for
instance, between men and women, or when response is likely to differ
markedly between subjects, such as those with different stages of disease,
the efficiency of the study might be increased by ensuring that treatment
groups are approximately equal or balanced with respect to such char­
acteristics. This can be accomplished by a somewhat more complex form
of randomization, called blocking, in which every participant is classified
with respect to each such variable before allocation and then randomized
within the subgroup. Since randomization of large samples virtually
guarantees comparability of treatment groups, blocking has particular
relevance when the study size is limited [31, 32].
Randomization has many unique advantages when compared with
other methods of allocation. First, if randomization is properly done,
nobody either involved in deciding whether a patient is eligible to enter
into a trial or responsible for the allocation procedure will know the as­
signed treatment group. Finis, the potential for bias in allocation to
study groups is removed, and investigators can be confident that ob­
served differences are not due to the selection of particular patients to
receive a given therapy. Whenever a system can be predicted, as with the
use of any other procedure to allocate treatment, there is the potential
for manipulation. For example, alternate assignment to study and com­
parison groups is often used but is always liable to potential bias. Specif­
ically, if two willing and eligible subjects presented at the same lime with
different prognoses, a physician might, consciously or not, enter them
into the study in the order that would allow the more seriously ill patient
to receive the treatment the physician already believed to be more (or
perhaps even less) promising. If a large proportion of subjects were en­
tered in this way, a serious imbalance in the treatment groups with re­
spect to factors affecting the outcome under study would result. A truly
more promising treatment could in fact appear less effective than the
alternative simply because it was administered to a group less likely to
benefit f rom any form of therapy than the individuals who were system­
atically assigned to the alternative being studied. Allocation on the basis
of day of the week is also subject to a systematic bias, especially for pa­
tients presenting at or near midnight.
Another unique advantage of randomization is that on average, the
study groups will tend to be comparable with respect to all variables ex­
cept for the interventions being studied. “On average” implies that the
larger the sample size, the more successful the randomization process
will be in distributing these factors equally among the groups. For ex­
ample, the total population of 10,940 participants in the HDFP [23] con­
sisted of 34.3 percent white males, 25.9 percent regular smokers, 26.0
percent current takers of antihypertensive medications, and 5.2 percent

with a history of myocardial infarction. Randomization resulted in two
study groups of 5485 (stepped care) and 5455 (referred care) with vir­
tually identical proportions of each of these factors ( Fable 8-1).
This feature of randomization is important because all baseline char­
acteristics that affect risk and differ between the treatment groups could
potentially confound the relationship between exposure and disease. An
even more crucial implication, however, is that on average not only will
all known confounding variables be equally distributed, but so will all

potential con founders that are unsuspected by the investigator
of limitations of biologic knowledge at the time the trial is initialed. Vari­
ables that are not identifiable cannot be deah with by any direct proce­
dures. Consequently, the only possible way to achieve control lor any
influence of unknown variables is through randomization. When the
sample size is sufficiently large, both known and unknown confounding
factors are distributed equally among treatment groups. Thus, random­
ization can provide a degree of assurance about the coni pa i ability of the
study groups that is simply not possible in any observational study de­

sign.
Finally, a significant advantage of randomization is the desei vedly fa­
vorable impression that this design strategy may have on those reading
the published results of a trial. When exposure is assigned by a method
other than randomization, the burden of proof is on the investigatoi to
show that all possible biases in the allocation of patients to a study group
or confounding effects of known or unknown factors that may diffei
rved result. Thus,

there is an inherent confidence in the results of a well-designed and
conducted randomized trial that cannot be achieved with any alternative
allocation scheme [16].
A type of nonrandomized intervention study that is sometimes seen
in the literature is one in which the comparison group is historical. In
this instance, the experience of a group of hospitalized patients allocated
to a new agent or procedure is compared with that of other patients in
the same hospital who had been exposed to the preexisting standard
form of treatment. In general, such observational comparisons can pro­
vide reliable evidence when there is a relatively large effect of the new
treatment compared with previous standard therapy. For example, the
efficacy of treatment of malignant hypertension was demonstrated by
observing a f ar lower mortality experience of newly treated patients with
those previously untreated [12]. However, in the more common circum­
stance, where the effects are small to moderate, it is difficult to distin­
guish reliably such differences between the study groups. Since data on
(he new treatment and the standard therapy are collected during two
dif ferent time periods, there may have been changes in the patient pop­
ulation admitted to the hospital, other advances in diagnostic or treat­
ment methods, or even general modifications of health behavior. Any or
all such factors may result in changes in the frequency of the disease that
arc totally unrelated to the intervention being tested.
Mainleiunice aiul Assessvteid of Compliance

By definition, an intervention study requires the active participation and
cooperation of the study subjects. After agreeing to participate, subjects
in a trial of medical therapy may deviate from the protocol for a variety
of reasons, including developing side effects, forgetting to take their
medication, or simply withdrawing their consent after randomization.
Analogously, in a trial of surgical therapy, those who were randomized
to one group may choose to obtain the alternative treatment on their
own initiative. In addition, there will be instances where participants can­
not comply, such as when the condition of a randomized patient rapidly
worsens to the point where therapy becomes contraindicated. Conse­
quently, the problem of achieving and maintaining high compliance is
an issue in the design and conduct of all clinical trials.
The extent of noncompliance in any trial is related to the length of
lime that participants are expected to adhere to the intervention, as well
as to the complexity of the study protocol, fhere are a number of pos­
sible strategies that can be adopted to try to enhance compliance among
the participants in a trial. As discussed earlier, selection of a population
of individuals who are both interested and reliable can enhance compli­
ance rates. For example, the CPPT [26] was conducted among men with
elevated blood chol
rol levels, who were consequently at increased

190 .Z-K. TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

risk of developing CHD. Such individuals in general have a much
stronger motivation to comply with a study regimen than those at usual
risk. Other ways of attempting to increase compliance include frequent
contact with participants by home or clinic visit, telephone, or mail, the
use of calendar packs of study medication, in which each pill is labelled
with the day it is to be taken; and the use of incentives such as detailed
medical information not ordinarily available from their usual source of
health care.
Monitoring compliance is important because noncompliance will de­
crease the statistical power of a trial to detect any true effect of the study
treatment. Thus, the interpretation of any trial result must take into ac­
count the extent to which there was adherence to the intervention regi­
men. To the extent that participants in the alternative treatment group
receive the intervention under study or those in the intei venlion gtoup
do not actuallv adhere to their assigned regimen, the two groups will
become very similar in terms of exposure. Consequently, any true mag­
nitude of effect of the intervention may be obscured. For example, in
the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRF1T) [27], 12,866
healthy men, aged 35 to 57 years, who were al high risk of developing
CHD on the basis of current cigarette smoking, elevated blood pressure,
and high blood cholesterol were randomized either to a special interven­
tion program designed to promote the reduction of these three risk fac­
tors or to their usual sources of health care in the community- Aftei 7
years of follow-up, there was a nonsignificant 7-percenl decrease m
deaths from CHD in the special intervention group compared with those
allocated to usual medical care. One factor that contributed to the in­
ability of the study to detect a significant difference despite sizeable re­
ductions in the levels of all three risk factors in the special intervention
group was that a large proportion of individuals in the usual caie gioup
also stopped smoking, received antihypertensive medication, and low­
ered their serum cholesterol through weight loss or dietary changes. Al­
though it is not possible to know for certain why these men assigned to
receiving usual care became “noncompliant” with their treatment iegimen, it seems likely that it was due to the increasing awareness of the
general public of the adverse effects of smoking, hypertension, and high
cholesterol and attempts to alter these risk factors.
The higher the degree of compliance with the offered program, the
greater the extent to which observed differences between those allocated
to alternative therapies reflect real differences in the effects of the treat­
ments themselves. Thus, compliance levels must be measured, which is
generally not easy. All of the measures available to estimate compliance
have inherent limitations. The simplest measure is a self-report. In fact,
for some interventions, such as exercise programs or behavior modifi­
cations, this may be the only practical way to assess compliance. In trials
of pharmacologic agents, pill counts have been used, where participants

bring unused medication to each clinic visit or return it to the investi­
gators at specified intervals. For example, participants in the CPPT
brought unused packets of cholestyramine or placebo to each follow-up
visit [26]. Although this method may eliminate inaccuracies due to poor
memory, it assumes that the subject has ingested all medication that has
not been returned to the clinic. A more objective means of assessing
compliance, which is also expensive and logistically difficult, is the use
of biochemical parameters to validate self-reports. Laboratory detei minations on either blood or urine can frequently detect the presence of
active drugs or metabolites. In cases where drugs or metabolites are dif­
ficult to measure, or for subjects taking an inert placebo, a safe biochem­
ical marker such as trace amounts of riboflavin can be added to the treat­
ment. Laboratory determinations are limited, however, in that they
usually only reflect whether medication was taken in the preceding day
or two and thus cannot be used as a reliable measure for long-term com­
pliance.
Inevitably, some proportion of participants in a trial will become noncompliant despite all reasonable efforts. In such instances, maintaining
any level of compliance is preferable to complete noncompliance. More­
over, as will be discussed, every randomized subject should be included
in the primary analysis of any intervention study, so that it is essential to
obtain as complete follow-up information as possible on those who have
discontinued the treatment program. Investigators should pursue fol­
low-up data on outcome for such individuals for the duration of the ti ial
in a manner identical to that for subjes is who continue to comply.

Uniform and High Rates of Ascertainment of Outcome
Another crucial issue to be considered in the design and conduct of an
intervention study is the ascertainment of the outcome(s) ol interest.
I he primary objective is to ensure that results are not biased by the col­
lection of more complete or accurate information from one or anothei
of the study groups. In addition to the need for uniform ascertainment
of outcome is the requirement for complete follow-up of study partiti­
pants over the duration of the trial. For some research questions, ascer­
tainment of the outcome may require only a short follow-up period, as
in a study of in-hospital mortality after treatment for acute myocardial
infarction or in a trial assessing the acute toxicity following administra­
tion of a new chemotherapeutic agent. In these circumstances, it is often
relatively easy to maintain contact with all participants during the entire
study period. Often, however, many years of follow-up will be needed,
especially for trials of treatments or other interventions that affect the
risk of developing or dying from chronic diseases. As the period of lime
over which subjects must be followed increases, maintaining complete
ascertainment of outcomes becomes more difficult. When outcomes for

192 //. TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

a proportion of study subjects are not identified but that proportion is
similar for all treatment groups, the smaller the losses, the greater the
likelihood that the magnitude of a bias will be small. On the other hand,
if the proportion of outcomes that are not ascertained is large or differs
among the study groups, the result could be an under- or overestimate
or even, by chance, reflect the true effect. To avoid this situation, where
it is not possible to know the magnitude or direction of the bias, it is
crucial to keep the number of individuals lost to follow-up to an absolute
minimum. For studies with mortality as an end point, the availability of
the U.S. National Death Index has enabled researchers, at the very least,
to assess the vital status on every individual entered into a trial [37].
Methods to maintain high follow-up rates in intervention studies are
identical to those used in prospective cohort studies, which have been
described in Chapter 7.
The potential for observation bias in ascertainment of outcome can
exist in an intervention study in that knowledge of a participant’s treat­
ment status might, consciously or not, influence the identification or re­
porting of relevant events. The likelihood of such bias is directly related
to the subjectivity of the outcomes under study. If the end point being
considered is total mortality, observation bias is unlikely, since the fact
of death is objective and indisputable and cannot be affected by knowl­
edge of a patient’s treatment regimen. In contrast, ascertainment of a
specific cause of death may lx? less clear-cut and thus may be influenced
by a clinician’s knowledge of treatment assignment. Moreover, there are
trials in which the end points of interest may include subjective outcomes
such as severity of illness, frequency of side effects, increased mobility,
or decreased pain. In all these circumstances, it is especially important
to utilize methods to minimize the likelihood of any systematic dif fer­
ence in the ascertainment of outcomes between study groups.
One such approach is to keep the study participants and/or the inves­
tigators blinded so far as possible to the identity of the interventions
until data collection has been completed. In a double-blind design, nei­
ther the participants nor the investigators responsible for assessment of
outcomes know to which treatment group an individual has been as­
signed. The ability to conduct a double-blind trial is dependent on hav­
ing treatment and comparison programs that are as nearly identical as
possible. Consequently, in many trials, especially of drug therapies, the
comparison group is assigned to receiving a placebo, which is an inert
agent indistinguishable from the active treatment. By making it ex­
tremely difficult, if not impossible, to differentiate between the treat­
ment and comparison groups, the use of a placebo will minimize bias in
the ascertainment of both subjective disease outcomes and side effects.
One problem in the evaluation of such end points is the well-docu­
mented tendency for individuals to report a favorable response to any
therapy regardless of the physiologic efficacy of wl
hey receive. This

8. INTERVENTION STUDIES

193

phenomenon is referred to as the placebo effect. If a study does not use
placebo control, it is impossible to tell whether subjective outcomes are
due to the actual trial treatments, to the extra attention participants re­
ceive, or merely to their belief that the treatment will help. For example,
in 1962, Wangensteen and colleagues [43] introduced a new technique
for the treatment of duodenal ulcer, gastric “freezing,” in which a cool­
ant was administered by nasogastric tube to suppress secretions. In their
case series of 31 patients, all reported marked or complete relief of pain
following this procedure. Despite the fact that the data were descriptive
and therefore could not test the hypothesis, gastric freezing began to be
used in many clinical centers. Subsequently, concern about its efficacy
and safety led to the initiation of a randomized trial [36]. Specifically, of
137 patients with duodenal ulcer, 69 were assigned at random to gastric
freezing and 68 received a placebo, in that the nasogastric tube was in­
serted but coolant applied only as far as the upper esophagus. Using
these procedures, all patients were aware of the presence of the coolant,
but in the placebo group, no direct effect on gastric secretions was pos­
sible. The trial showed similar proportions of marked or complete relief
of pain, suppression of secretions, as well as f requency and severity of
recurrence between those who received the actual freezing procedure
and those who did not. These statistically nonsignificant results sug­
gested that the relief of symptoms reported by all subjects in the case
series may have been due to the psychological effect of the procedure
rather than any true physiologic benefits.
On the other hand, persons taking a drug or undergoing a medical
procedure may be sensitized to their physical condition and lend to as­
cribe every symptom or unusual occurrence to their treatment. For ex­
ample, in the Veterans Administration Cooperative Study of Antihyper­
tensive Agents [42], 186 men were randomized to a combination of
hydrochlorothiazide, reserpine, and hydralazine, and 194 were assigned
to placebo. One of the anticipated side effects of these agents is impo­
tence. Nevertheless, the proportions of subjects reporting this outcome
at any time during the study period were virtually identical in the treat­
ment and placebo groups (29% and 28%, respectively). Similarly, in the
Aspirin Myocardial Infarction Study [3], 23.7 percent of subjects ran­
domized to receiving 1 gm of aspirin per day reported symptoms
suggestive of peptic ulcer, gastritis, or erosion of gastric mucosa, whereas
14.9 percent of those receiving placebo reported similar symptoms. If
the trial had not used placebo control, an erroneously high rate of gas­
trointestinal side effects would have been attributed to aspirin, whereas
in actuality the rate was 23.7 percent minus 14.9 percent, or 8.8 percent.
The use of a placebo will ensure that all aspects of the program of fered
to participants are identical except for the actual experimental treat­
ment. (Consequently by comparing the proportions of individuals in the

or outcome, the true incidence of subjective treatment-related effects
can be determined.
-t
Thus, the primary strength of a double-blind design is to eliminate
the potential for observation bias. Of course, a concomitant limitation is
that such trials are usually more complex and difficult to conduct. Pro­
cedures must be established for immediate “unblinding” of a partici­
pant’s physician in the event of serious side effects or other clinical emer­
gencies in which this information seems essential. Moreover, in some
circumstances, it is not possible to “blind” both the participants and the
investigators to the allocated treatment regimen. It is very difficult to
design a double-blind trial for the evaluation of programs involving sub­
stantial changes in life-style, such as exercise, cigarette smoking or diet,
surgical procedures, or drugs with characteristic side effects. In these
circumstances, a single-blind or unblinded trial may be necessary. In a
single-blind design, the investigator alone is aware of which intervention
a subject is receiving, while in an unblinded or open trial, both the sub­
ject and the investigator know to which study group (he individual has
been assigned.
Single-blind or unblinded trials are simpler to execute than double­
blind studies and may be more acceptable both to physicians randomiz­
ing (heir patients and to participants. Of course, these designs also have
special problems. For example, subjects aware that (hey are not on the
new or experimental program may become dissatisfied and drop out of
the trial, thus resulting in dif ferential compliance or loss to follow-up.
Moreover, as discussed earlier, knowledge of the intervention to which
the participant has been assigned again raises the potential for observa­
tion bias in the reporting of side effects or assessment of outcomes.
Thus, when a double-blind design is not possible, it is imperative that
special precautions be taken to reduce the potential for observation bias.
For measurement of both side effects and end points, objective criteria
should be used, and the study groups should be followed with equal
intensity by independent examiners who are unaware of the subjects’
treatment status.

Use of a Factorial Design
In this chapter, we have thus far considered issues in the design of in­
tervention trials of a single factor, where one treatment or regimen is
compared with one or more alternatives or placebo. Given the cost and
feasibility issues in designing clinical trials, one technique to improve
efficiency is to test two or more hypotheses simultaneously in a factorial
design. A clinical trial of two hypotheses can utilize a two-by-two factorial
design, in which subjects are first randomized to treatments a or p to
address one hypothesis, and then within each treatment group there is
further randomization to treatments A or B to evaluate a second ques­

tion. Similarly, in a two-by-two-by-iwo factorial design, each of these
subgroups would be f urther randomized into two additional interven­
tion groups to address a third hypothesis, and so on.
fhe Physicians’ Health Study [19, 38] utilizes a two-by-two factorial
design to evaluate the two hypotheses that consumption of low-dose as­
pirin reduces cardiovascular mortality and that beta-carotene consump­
tion decreases cancer incidence. As shown in Figure 8-3, the more than
22,000 willing and eligible physicians were first randomized into two
groups, one receiving aspirin and the other aspirin placebo. Each of
these treatment groups was further randomized to receiving either beta­
carotene or its placebo. Thus, physicians in the trial were allocated to
one of four possible regimens: aspirin alone, beta-carotene alone, both
active agents, or both placebos.
'Fhe principal advantage of the f actorial design is its ability to answer
two or more questions in a single trial for only a marginal increase in
cost. Moreover, as in the Physicians’ Health Study, the use of a factorial
design can allow testing a less mature hypothesis together with a more
mature question having reliable evidence available to justify its evalua­
tion. The Physicians’ Health Study sought primarily to test the hypoth­
esis that a single 325-mg aspirin tablet taken every other day could re­
duce total cardiovascular mortality among men with no history of a prior
myocardial infarction. Since there was a large body of laboratory and
observational epidemiologic data, as well as information from trials of
aspirin among those with a history of myocardial infarction or unstable

TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

angina [2, 25], a primary prevention trial of aspirin seemed warranted.
Whether beta-carotene could decrease cancer incidence, however, was a
promising but as yet immature hypothesis [20, 21, 33]. Nevertheless, as
discussed earlier, because of the continuing widespread use of multivi­
tamin supplements in the U.S., for reasons of feasibility it seemed im­
portant that a trial of beta-carotene be conducted as soon as possible. By­
using a two-by-two factorial design, the carotene hypothesis could also
be tested in the Physicians’ Health Study without materially af fecting the
sensitivity or the cost of the aspirin component.
Ideally, of course, the additional treatments in a factorial design
should not complicate trial operations, materially affect eligibility re­
quirements, or cause side effects that could lead to pool compliance oi
losses to follow-up. In addition, the possibility of an interaction between
treatment regimens must be considered. Fortunately, such inleiactions
tend to affect the magnitude of observed treatment effects rather than
changing their direction from benefit to harm or vice versa. Moreover,
while the effects of interactions could be viewed as a potential limitation
of a factorial trial, this design in fact facilitates the identification of their
existence [38]. For example, in the Second International Study of In­
farct Survival [24], the two major questions of interest arc the efficacy
of intravenous streptokinase and of low-dose oral aspirin in the i;educ­
tion of cardiovascular mortality after an acute myocardial infarction. It
may well be that any benefit of the thrombolytic agent intravenous strep­
tokinase would be greater in the presence of the antiplatelet drug aspirin
than in its absence, fhe use of a two-by-two factorial design allows foi
the assessment of such an interaction, which could not be done in a sin­
gle-factor study.
STOPPING RULES: DECISION FOR
EARLY TERMINATION OF A TRIAL

In the design phase of a trial, there is a need to develop guidelines for
deciding whether a trial should be modified or terminated before orig­
inally scheduled. In addition, in some trials of preventive and therapeu­
tic regimens, individuals enter the study over an extended period of
time, and the experience of the early participants becomes available
while later individuals are still being enrolled. To assure that the welfare
of the participants is protected, interim results should be monitored by
a group that is independent of the investigators conducting the tiial. If
the data indicate a clear and extreme benefit on the primary end point
due to the intervention, or if one treatment is clearly harmful, then eai ly
termination of the trial must be considered. For example, the Beta­
Blocker Heart Attack Trial [10] was a randomize'* double-blind study
comparing propranolol with placebo in 3837 patie. with a recent mvo-

1

197

cardial infarction. The trial was terminated 9 months before the sched­
uled closing date on the recommendation of an external data monitor­
ing board. At that time, the propranolol group had a highly statistically
significant (P = 0.005) 26-percent reduction in the primary end point,
total mortality, when compared with the placebo group. The emergence
of such an extreme result raised the question of whether it would be
ethical to continue withholding propranolol from the placebo group.
Of at least equal importance, it would also seem unethical to stop a
trial prematurely based solely on emerging trends from a small number
of patients. Such findings might well be only transient and disappear or
even reverse after data have accumulated from a larger sample. For ex­
ample, on three occasions during the first 30 months of the Coronary
Drug Project (('DP) trial [9], the mortality of the group receiving clofibrate was significantly lower, at the conventional P = 0.05 level, than
that of the placebo group. However, the finding did not achieve the ex­
treme level of significance recommended f or consideration of early ter­
mination [31, 32]. fhe study group therefore decided not to slop the
trial but to continue to monitor the results closely. On this basis, the
scheduled follow-up period was completed, and when the final results
were analyzed, the mortality of the dofibrate group was. in fact, identical
to that of the placebo group (25.5% versus 25.4%).
finis, a decision to terminate a study early is based on a number of
complex issues and must be made with a great deal of caution. There
are a variety of sophisticated statistical methods that are currently avail­
able for monitoring the accumulating data f rom a clinical trial. As a gen­
eral rule, the first requirement for even considering modification or
early termination of an ongoing trial is the observation of a sustained
statistical association that is so extreme, and, therefore, so highly signif­
icant, that it is virtually impossible to arise by chance alone [1, 16, 31,
34]. While a statistical test should not normally be used as the sole basis
for the decision to slop or continue a trial, it serves an important func­
tion to alert those responsible for monitoring interim data to the possi­
bility that there may be cause for concern. The observed association
must then be considered in the context of the totality of evidence, in­
cluding known or postulated biologic mechanisms that might explain
such an effect, if it was unanticipated; results f rom other randomized
trials and, to a lesser extent, those from observational studies; and an
assessment of how the observed association would affect the overall riskto-benefii ratio of the intervention. Similarly, the specific statistical cri­
terion used to alert investigators to the need to consider these issues
cannot be specified exactly for all trials. In fact, there are many different
views of what constitutes sufficient proof that an observed association in
interim data does not represent a temporary, random fluctuation. More­
over, some inveslig
rs feel that this criterion should not be equally
stringent for beneficial and harmful effects, or with respect to antici-

II. TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

)

paled and unanticipated findings. Whatever the specific guideline, how­
ever, the aim is to achieve an equitable balance between, on the one
hand, protection of randomized participants against real harm and, on
the other, minimizing the risk of mistakenly modifying or stopping the
trial prematurely. Detailed discussions of the issues involved in such de­
cisions can be found elsewhere [1,9, 10, 16, 31, 34].

SAMPLE SIZE CONSIDERATIONS:
STATISTICAL POWER
Although sample size must be addressed early in the planning stage of
any analytic epidemiologic investigation, it has particular importance in
an intervention study. Observational analytic study designs can most teliably study large effects, so that the sample may be moderate in size. In
contrast, a trial must have a sufficient sample size to have adequate sta­
tistical power or ability to detect reliably the small to moderate but clin­
ically important differences between treatment groups that are most
likely to occur [47]. Veto [29] has stated that most of the roughly 2000
randomized clinical trials currently underway worldwide are of “little or
no scientific value,” based primarily on the fact that these studies aie of
inadequate sample size to detect such effects reliably. We believe that
such trials actually have the potential for great scientific harm, especially
if their results are misinterpreted as demonstrating that an intervention
has no effect when in fact the sample size was not sufficient to provide
an informative null result. Even if an investigator feels confident that a
new intervention will have a large benefit (i.e., a 50% or greater reduc­
tion in the primary end point), it is far preferable to design a trial to test
the more likely small to moderate benefit (i.e., 10—20%) and stop the
trial early than to anticipate a larger effect and have no ability to detect
smaller but nonetheless clinically important differences.
In designing a clinical trial, investigators often devote much time and
effort to increasing the total number of participants enrolled. However,
the statistical power of a trial to detect a postulated dif f erence between
treatment groups, if one truly exists, is dependent not simply on the
sample size, but more specifically on two factors: (1) the total number of
end points experienced by the study population and (2) the difference
in compliance between the treatment groups [29].

Accumulation Of Adequate End Points
To accumulate sufficient numbers of end points, two major strategies
may be considered: first, selecting a high-risk population for study and,
second, ensuring an adequate duration of follow-up.

8. INTERVENTION STUDIES

199

Selection of a High-Risk Population
A primary strategy to ensure the accumulation of an adequate number
of end points is to select individuals at increased risk of developing the
outcomes of interest. With respect to the general population, a simple
but important criterion for this selection is age. Since the frequency of
most outcomes rises with increasing age, the impact of this factor can be
dramatic. For example, in a study of mortality from CHD, 10,000 men
aged 45 and 54 would be expected to experience only about 27 coronary
deaths during a 1-year follow-up period, while a comparable group of
men aged 65 to 74 followed for 1 year would yield about 167 such fa­
talities [40]. Other risk factors on which selection of a study population
might be based include sex, occupation, geographic area, or one or more
medical or life-style variables. As mentioned earlier, the CPPT [26] was
conducted among middle-aged men at increased risk of CHD due to
elevated blood cholesterol levels (above 265 mg/dl). Similarly, MRFIT
[27] selected men aged 35 to 57 years who were in the upper 15 percent
of a risk score distribution based on combined levels of cigarette smok­
ing, blood cholesterol, and/or blood pressure.
Fhe collection of baseline data can be planned to allow the identifi­
cation of particular subgroups who might experience different effects
of an intervention. For example, in the Physicians’ Health Study, if the
true reduction in cancer incidence due to beta-carotene is 30 percent or
greater, there is excellent power to detect that difference among the total
of more than 22,000 randomiz.ed physicians. On the other hand, if the
overall reduction in risk is only 10 percent, it would not be possible to
detect such an ef fect with great assurance. However, a 10-percent overall
reduction could result from a much larger effect confined exclusively to
a particular subgroup, in this case, those with the lowest levels of beta­
carotene or vitamin A at baseline [30]. This f inding could easily be de­
tected if participants were stratified by baseline levels of these parame­
ters. For this reason, prerandomization blood specimens were collected
by mail from 14,916 of the participating physicians, to be analyzed for
baseline levels of retinol, carotene, retinol-binding protein, as well as
other relevant parameters. The availability of these prerandomization
blood specimens will increase the sensitivity of the trial to identify which
particular subgroup of doctors, if any, stands to benefit most from beta­
carotene. If there is a benefit confined to those having low baseline lev­
els, then f uture public health interventions could be aimed at that target
population. Conversely, if there is no true effect of beta-carotene sup­
plementation on cancer incidence, this strategy would in fact produce a
more convincing and truly informative null result, for then it could be
stated that not only was there nd significant overall effect observed, but
in addition, no effect of supplementation with this agent was apparent
regardless of initial blood levels. Despite the fact that such hypotheses

0 II. TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

are formulated before data collection, it remains important to keep in
mind that such comparisons are not strictly randomized.
Length of the Follow-Up Period
The length of any planned follow-up period should always consider that
the actual rate of accrual of end points will be less than projected. This
situation is not unusual in clinical trials and may occur for reasons be­
yond the control of the investigators. First, as discussed previously, those
who volunteer to participate in intervention studies are a self-selected
group who also tend to experience generally lower morbidity and mor­
tality rates than those who do not take part, regardless of the hypothesis
under study or the treatment allocated at random. For example, in plan­
ning the Physicians’ Health Study, we considered the likelihood that the
relatively small proportion of all potential participants who were actually
both willing and eligible to enroll would have substantially lower rates of
cardiovascular mortality and cancer than the general population, due to
the generally better health and habits of U.S. doctors as a whole, to the
impact of our exclusion criteria, and to the “healthy volunteer effect.”
We therefore postulated that the rates of these end points in the trial
would be about half those that might be expected. In fact, mortality rates
during the first year were less than 20 percent of what would have been
expected among a general population with the same age distribution, or
about 40 percent of our projection for the initially planned duration of
the study (3.5 years). The only way to compensate for this deficit in ex­
pected end points would be to extend the length of the follow-up period.
In fact, with the continued cooperation and permission of participating
doctors, we have doubled the length of follow-up and expect to accrue
about four times the number of end points.
Moreover, there may be secular changes in disease rates during the
course of the trial, sometimes as great as that due to the intervention
studied. For example, as discussed previously, MRFIT [27] was designed
to evaluate whether the combined effects of cessation of smoking, con­
trol of hypertension, and reduction of cholesterol would decrease the
mortality rate from CHD. During the decade in which this trial was con­
ducted, the entire U.S. population, including all MRFIT participants,
experienced a marked 25- to 30-percent decline in CHD mortality [17].
In part due to this secular trend, the observed numbers of deaths in the
trial were less than two-thirds the numbers expected for the 6-year fol­
low-up period. Extending the length of follow-up would have increased
the number of end points, thereby increasing the power of the trial.
The choice of duration of the follow-up period must also take into
consideration the postulated mechanism by which the study agent exerts
its effects. In the Physicians’ Health Study, for example, any benefit
from aspirin in reducing cardiovascular mortal’ 'S likely to be acute,
since the postulated mechanism relates to imme< .<.e effects on platelet

8. INTERVENTION STUDIES 201

aggregability. On the other hand, if the beneficial effect of beta-carotene
supplementation is analogous to the effect of cessation of cigarette
smoking on reduction of lung cancer risk, where it may take 2 years
before any decrease begins to become apparent and 6 to 9 before the
effect becomes maximal [11], then a much longer period of follow-up is
required.
While every effort should be made to incorporate an adequate length
of follow-up during the planning phase of a trial, the emergence of new
evidence on mechanisms, changes in rales of disease within the general
population, and even, on occasion, the failure to achieve a sufficient
sample size or enough end points within the trial itself may all, for the
reasons discussed above, raise the question of increasing the duration
beyond the planned period of follow-up. Any such decision should be
made as early in the trial as possible to maintain the scientific credibility
ol the study and avoid the implication that the change in study design
was based on last-minute efforts to achieve statistical significance [16].
For this reason, with the consent of the participating doctors, the Phy­
sicians’ Health Study research group was able, at an early stage of the
study, to secure funding to extend the duration of the trial, based pri­
marily on far lower than expected mortality rates among trial partici­
pants. Additional issues that should be considered in making a decision
regarding extensions of a trial can be found elsewhere [16].

The Effect of Compliance
In addition to the number of end points accrued, the second major f ac­
tor influencing the power of the study to detect a true difference be­
tween treatment groups is compliance. It is important to remember that
the assessment of whether compliance is adequate must include all (he
study participants, regardless of their particular treatment assignment.
The effect of noncompliance in any participant is to make the interven­
tion and comparison groups more alike, which has the result of decreas­
ing the ability of the trial to delect any true differences between the
groups. For example, in MRFIT, while the compliance among partici­
pants in the special intervention program was generally higher than ex­
pected, individuals in the usual care group also stopped smoking, re­
duced their blood pressure, and lowered their cholesterol to an extent
unanticipated by the investigators. As a result, the small differences in
risk factors between the groups could only result in a 22-perccnt reduc­
tion in CHD mortality. When coupled with secular decreases in mortality
from CHD in the general population, this study did not have adequate
power to detect this small effect [27],

curve (A) represents the power for a total sample size of 33,000 and 100percent compliance in the active aspirin and placebo groups. The bot­
tom curve (C) shows the decrease in power that results when the same
number of subjects are randomized, but the compliance rates are only
67 percent among those in the active aspirin group and 95 percent for
those taking placebo. The shapes of both curves are approximately lhe
same, but with noncompliance there is less power for lhe detection of an
effect of any size. Moreover, lhe greatest reduction in power is for the
most plausible relative risks, which are on lhe order of 0.8 to 0.9.
One strategy to maximize compliance that has been used infrequently
to date in intervention studies but could have wide applicability in clini­
cal trials is the implementation of a run-in or “wash-out period prior to
actual randomization. All participants receive either the active treatment
or placebo for a number of weeks or months before formal randomiza­
tion to a treatment group. This permits potentially eligible participants
who have difficulty adhering to the intervention program or those per­
ceiving adverse effects to withdraw before randomization without af­
fecting the validity of the study [5, 18]. Such a strategy seems particularly

attractive in trials where it is not necessary for an intervention to begin
during or immediately following an acute event. The effects on power
of reducing the sample size in this way is illustrated in Figure 8-4. The
middle curve (B) represents the power associated with a sample size that
is one-third smaller than the 33,000 enrollees in the Physicians’ Health
Study, or 22,000 subjects, but again with compliance rates of 100 percent
in both groups. This results in an intermediate power curve, with less
power than if a larger number of good compilers had been randomized,
but considerably more than if a larger, mixed group of compilers and
noncompliers were randomized. Consequently, the use of techniques to
maintain high compliance, such as the use of a run-in period, will max­
imize the power of a clinical trial to delect small to moderate effects
between treatment groups [5].
The actual formal of lhe run-in period will depend on the particular
hypotheses being tested. For example, in the Veterans Administration
(Cooperative Group Study on Antihypertensive Agents [41], male pa­
tients whose diastolic blood pressures averaged 90 to 129 mm Hg were
considered for admission to a randomized trial of active drug (hydro­
chlorothiazide plus reserpine plus hydralazine hydrochloride) versus
placebo treatment. Following discharge from the hospital, the patients
entered a prerandomization phase, where for 2 to 4 months they look
daily tablets of a placebo containing a fluorescent biochemical marker
(rilx)flavin) and were seen in the clinic at monthly intervals. Failure to
appear for a clinic appointment, failure of the urine to exhibit fluores­
cence, or a count of returned tablets outside a specific range excluded a
potential participant from randomization into the actual trial. Using this
procedure, nearly 50 percent of the patients initially eligible for this trial
were excluded before randomization for one of these reasons. While
decreasing the actual sample size, this technique resulted in a study of
greater power due to the exclusion of noncompliers before randomiza­
tion.
Both the postulated mechanisms of action and frequency of side ef­
fects should be considered in determining the specific agents for a runin period. In the Physicians’ Health Study, the postulated beneficial ef­
fects of aspirin are acute and side effects common [35], so that it was
desirable to expose all willing and eligible subjects to active aspirin dur­
ing a run-in prior to randomization. On the other hand, as the possible
beneficial effects of beta-carotene are cumulative and side effects mini­
mal [21, 33], a placebo rather than active agent was given. Thus, during
the 18-week run-in period, all 33,211 physicians who were initially will­
ing and eligible to enroll in the trial took a daily pill from calendar packs
containing active aspirin alternating with beta-carotene placebo. At the
end of that lime, each physician was sent a questionnaire to identify doc­
tors reporting side effects or a desire to discontinue participation, those

2^4

who wished to continue but whose self-reported compliance was consid­
ered inadequate by the investigators, and those who developed a cardio­
vascular or cancer end point during this period. Using these criteria,
about 35 percent of enrolled physicians were deemed ineligible to be
randomized and were excluded from the trial. The remaining 22,071
willing and eligible physicians who were proven good compliers were
then randomized into one of the four treatment groups.
One possible limitation of a run-in is that by restricting a trial to a
group of proven good compliers, the study subjects may differ from the
genera] population with respect to factors that might affect the devel­
opment of the outcomes of interest. Of course, to the extent that the
noncompliers who were eliminated can be followed, this question can be
evaluated directly. From a more theoretic perspective, however, this is­
sue relates solely to the generalizability of study findings> io the total
experimental or reference populations. In that regard, as 1has been discussed previously, the primary goal in the design of a trial is to ensure
that the results obtained are valid. Consequently, any procedure that
maximizes compliance, thus increasing the chances of obtaining a valid
result, will positively affect the ability to generalize that finding to other
populations. The proven good compliers resulting from a run-in period
who contribute to a valid result are a far greater asset to the generahzabilitv of the trial results than would be a more representative study pop­
ulation who were unable to maintain adequate compliance lor the du­
ration of the study. Such an investigation would lead to an invalid result
and, therefore, one that has no potential for generalizability despite hav­
ing been conducted among a representative population.

ISSUES IN ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The basic approach to the analysis of intervention studies is similar to
that discussed for cohort studies (see Chap. 7), where the fundamental
comparison is between the rates of the outcome of interest in the treated
group(s) and the corresponding rates in the comparison group(s). As for
any analytic epidemiologic study, the roles of chance, bias, and con­
founding must be evaluated as possible alternative explanations for the
findings. Clinical trials, however, have unique design features with spe­
cial implications for their analysis and inlet pretation.
Ar regards chance, a sufficient sample size addresses this issue in a
manner analogous to other analytic designs. Moreover, randomization
minimizes the potential for bias in the allocation ol participants to treat­
ment group, and bias in the observation of outcomes ol interest can be
minimized by using blind or double-blind procedures. With respect to

8. INTERVENTION STUDIES 205

confounding, randomization tends to distribute both known and un­
known confounders evenly among the treatment groups. If the sample
size is large, this comparability is virtually guaranteed. However, as dis­
cussed previously, with a small sample size or even, in the rare instance,
as a result of the play of chance in a large sample, randomization may
not always result in groups that are alike with respect to every factor
except the treatment under study. Consequently, one important early
step in the analysis of any clinical trial is to compare the relevant char­
acteristics of the randomized treatment and comparison groups to as­
sure that balance was achieved. This comparison should always be pre­
sented as one of the first tables in the report of the study findings.
For example, Table 8-2 shows the baseline distribution of subjects in
the CASS trial [6] for a number of potentially important risk factors for
subsequent mortality and the development of CHI). Additional compar­
isons were made of electrocardiographic, arteriographic, and ventricu­
lographic characteristics. There were no imbalances between patients as­
signed to receive surgical and those allocated to medical therapy with
respect to any of these baseline characteristics. Thus, randomization was
effective in establishing two study groups that were similar with respect
to other factors that could independently affect the outcome under
study. If such a comparison had indicated that randomization was not
ef fective and that there were imbalances between the study groups with
respect to known confounding factors, such discrepancies could be con­
trolled in the analysis using statistical techniques analogous to those em­
ployed in observational cohort studies (see Chap. 12).
A second important issue that often arises in clinical trials is the ques­
tion of which subjects to include in the analysis. Some investigators re­
move from the analysis subjects who were determined to be ineligible
after randomization or who did not comply with the study protocol. We
believe, however, that the exclusion of any randomized patients f rom the
analysis can lead to biased results. It may be particularly appealing, in­
tuitively, to eliminate those who become noncompliant. However, it is
unwarranted and incorrect to perform a f undamental analysis that com­
pares the outcome rates of only those individuals who actually received
that treatment with only those who did not.
First, in most trials, perfect compilers represent only a f raction of the
total study population. As with losses to follow-up, noncompliance may
be related to factors that also affect the risk of the outcome under study,
and failure to analyze data on all randomized participants could intro­
duce bias. For example, as mentioned earlier, when all randomized sub­
jects in the Coronary Drug Project trial of clofibrate in the reduction of
mortality following myocardial infarction were included in the major
analysis, the 5-year total mortality rates in the two groups were very sim­
ilar (18.0% versus 1° t>%) [9]. To explore the effect of compliance on

this outcome, the investigators then analyzed the mortality experience
within the clofibrate group and found that those whose compliance was
at least 80 percent had a mortality rate of 15.0 percent, compared with
24.6 percent among those who were poor compilers. Such a finding
might be erroneously interpreted to indicate that clofibrate reduces
mortality. Indeed, a similar analysis within the placebo group found a
comparable disparity in mortality among compilers and noncompliers,
with rates of 15.1 and 28.2 percent, respectively [8]. These data do in­
dicate that in both the active and placebo groups, compliers are different
from noncompliers in ways that affect their prognosis. Even after con­
trolling for 40 known possible confounders, there was still a difference
in the mortality rates in the placebo group between good (16.4%) and
poor (25.8%) compliers. Thus, there must be additional but unknown
variables associated with both compliance and mortality in this trial.
These data clearly show that subgroup comparisons of compliers did not

provide valid results.
A second limitation in evaluating data on only those subjects who com­
ply with the study regimen is that such an analysis does not address the
actual research question being posed in an intervention study—whether
the offering of a treatment program is of Ixiiiefit. While we wish to study
the actual effect of the treatment, we are in fact randomizing only on
the basis of the offering of treatment, so that we must analyze the data
on this basis to preserve the power of randomization, ft is only the entire
groups allocated by randomization that are truly comparable. Once par­
ticipants are randomized to a treatment group, their subsequent health
experience must be assessed and analyzed along with all others in that
group, regardless of whether they comply with their assigned regimen.
This methodologic issue emphasizes the need to maintain high compli­
ance with their assigned regimen among all study participants. It is also
important to keep in mind that if a particular regimen is so difficult and
uncomfortable that it is likely to be accepted and used by only a small
proportion of the reference population, it may not be practical to rec­
ommend its use, no matter how effective the actual treatment may be.
Thus, in all circumstances, the comparison that is optimal to estimate
the true benefit to be obtained f rom the intervention program is to ana­
lyze by intention to treat—in other words, “once randomized, always
analyzed.’’ For this reason, it is imperative to maintain high levels of
compliance, keep losses to follow-up at a minimum, and to collect com­
plete information on all randomized subjects. 1 hose who are no longer
complying with the study regimen should continue to provide all follow­
up information whenever possible, or at the very least, their vital status
should be ascertained. Subsequent analyses can certainly be performed
based on that subgroup of participants who actually received their as­
signed treatment. However, if this is done, while it is possible to perform

8. INTERVENTION STUDIES

2^ II. TYPES OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES

analyses that achieve balance in the distribution of known confounders,
it is impossible to regain the control of unknown confounders that had
been achieved originally through randomization.
The need to perform randomized comparisons in the analyses of data
from a trial is equally important when subgroups are identified on the
basis of other characteristics besides compliance. Investigators are often
tempted to examine differences in treatment effects among those with
various baseline characteristics, such as age, prognostic factors, or pre­
vious medical history. For example, in MRFIT [28], a subgroup analysis
by presence or absence of resting electrocardiogram abnormalities sug­
gested that among men with such abnormalities at baseline, those i e
ceiving the special intervention program actually had an increased risx
of death from CHD relative to those in the group allocated to usual
medical care. This finding led to a further exploration of the effects of
the intervention among those with various levels of hypertension. I he
investigators wisely concluded that “subgroup analyses must be inter­
preted with caution, particularly those that go beyond the randomized
clinical trial design by the MRFIT” and added that “these findings pose
hypotheses for investigation by other researchers in systemic hypei ten­
sion” [28].
In general, the caveats needed to compare subgroups defined a prion
by baseline characteristics are far less than those required when com­
parisons are made on the basis of variables chosen after randomization
such as compliance. As regards the former, a minor concern involves a
loss of statistical power oecause only subgroups of the total number of
randomized subjects are being compared. A greater concern, however,
is to ensure adequate control of variables that may no longer be distrib­
uted at random among the subgroups. With respect to analyses of
subgroups defined a posteriori on the basis of information accumulated
after randomization, they can only raise data-derived hypotheses, not

test particular research questions.

CONCLUSION

The ultimate goal of any intervention study is to provide either a definitive positive result on which public policy can be based or a reliable and
informative null finding that can then safely permit the redistribution
of resources to other important areas of research. Intervention studies
certainly can be more difficult to design and conduct than observational
epidemiologic studies, due to their unique problems of ethics, feasibility,
and costs. However, trials that are sufficiently large, randomized, and
carefully designed, conducted, and analyzed can provide the strongest
and most direct epidemiologic evidence on which to make a judgment
about the existence of a cause-effect relationship

STUDY QUESTIONS
1. In the Physicians’ Health Study [19], 22,071 male physicians were ran­
domized and mortality was postulated to be 70 percent that of white
males in the general population. During the first 2 years, mortality
was less than 25 percent rather than the anticipated 70 percent.
a. How do you explain these findings?
b. What could be done at that stage of the trial to increase the power
of the study to maximize the chances of observing the small to
moderate effects anticipated, which include a 20-percent reduction
in total cardiovascular mortality, a 10-percent reduction in mortal­
ity from all causes, and a 30-percent reduction in cancer rates?
2. During the planning phase of the Physicians’ Health Study, which re­
stricted admission to male physicians between the ages of 40 and 84,
it was suggested that female physicians be included to study the effect
of aspirin in women and to see if there was a different effect in women
as compared with men. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
including female physicians in the trial.
3. As discussed earlier, in the MRFIT trial [27], 480 end points were
anticipated, and only 260 were observed. Consequently, at the end of
the trial, the reduction in cardiovascular deaths was statistically non­
significant.
a. What factors contributed to these findings?
b. What changes in the study design might have enabled MRFIT to
report a more definitive result?

Objective.—To determine the efficacy of influenza vaccination in elderly people.
Design.—Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
Setting.—Fifteen family practices in the Netherlands during influenza season
1991-1992.
Participants.—A total of 1838 subjects aged 60 years or older, not known as
belonging to those high-risk groups in which vaccination was previously given.
Intervention.—Purified split-virion vaccine containing A/Singapore/6/86(H1 N1),
A/Beijing/353/89(H3N2), B/Beijing/1/87, and B/Panama/45/90 (0=927) or intra­
muscular placebo containing physiological saline solution (n=911).
Main Outcome Measures.—Patients presenting with influenzalike illness up to
5 months after vaccination; self-reported influenza in postal questionnaires 10
weeks and 5 months after vaccination; serological influenza (fourfold increase of
antibody titer between 3 weeks and 5 months after vaccination).
Results.—The incidence of serological influenza was 4% in the vaccine group
and 9% in the placebo group (relative risk [RR], 0.50; 95% confidence interval [Cl],
0.35 to 0.61). The incidences of clinical influenza were 2% and 3%, respectively
(RR, 0.53; 95% Cl, 0.39 to 0.73). The effect was strongest for the combination of
serological and clinical influenza (RR, 0.42; 95% Cl, 0.23 to 0.74). The effect was
less pronounced for self-reported influenza.
Conclusion.—In the elderly, influenza vaccination may halve the incidence of
‘--serological and clinical influenza (in periods of antigenic drift).

elderly.4 Several studies have suggested
that vaccination of elderly people re­
sults in a decrease in complication rate
(up to 72%) and mortality (up to 87%).^®
However, these studies were primarily
retrospective. Only a few prospective
studies have been performed among the
elderly912; none were randomized and
blinded.
For editorial comment see p 1700.

We conducted a randomized double­
blind placebo-controlled trial of the ef­
ficacy of influenza vaccination in elderly
individuals, using both clinical and se­
rological outcome parameters.

METHODS
Patients

The study was conducted in the win­
ter of 1991-1992 and involved 34 family
physicians in 15 practices in the south­
ern region of the Netherlands. All per­
sons aged 60 years or older (n=9907),
not known as belonging to those highrisk groups in which vaccination had
previously been given, were invited to
enter the trial.
According to the Dutch Health Coun­
cil,13 high-risk groups are patients with
heart or lung conditions, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal insufficiency, and
chronic staphylococcal infections. Of the
people invited to enroll in the trial, 1838
(19%) agreed. The following reasons were
given for nonparticipation: not under­
standing the letter of invitation; hesita­
tion about participating in an investiga­
tion; fear of receiving an injection and
having blood samples taken; and being
pressed for time. Of those who enrolled,
238 indicated that they had been vacci­
nated against influenza in 1989 and/or in
1990. A history of cardiological, pulmo­
nary, or metabolic problems were re­
ported in 490 participants. (The family
physicians appear to have had different
interpretations of what it means to be at
high risk for influenza.) To assess the in­
fluence of risk status on the effect of vac­
cination, the participants were divided
into the following categories: cardiac dis­
ease, pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and other conditions or healthy.
Intervention

The vaccine used was the purified
split-virus vaccine produced by Evans
Medical Ltd (Langhurst, Horsham, En­
gland). This vaccine was composed in
