Table I.

Minimum Detectable Improvements in HTN Control Rate

over-time correlation* 8 barbershops per study-arm 12 barbershops per study-arm
0 15.5% 12.3%
0.1 15.0% 11.9%
0.2 14.6% 11.6%
0.3 14.1% 11.2%
0.4 13.6% 10.8%
0.5 13.1% 10.4%

Percentages are mean differences in HTN control rates between intervention and control barbershops in an experimentally controlled nested cross-sectional design. Calculations assume 100 hypertensive customers per barbershop, 80% power, and 2-sided 5% significance level.

*

Over-time correlation refers to repeat-measure correlation of HTN control rate in a given barbershop
