1. Optimal information size calculations (continuous outcomes).

Outcome Power Two‐sided significance level ICC MD SD Sample size (total)
WAZa 80% 95% 0.05 0.26 1.0 390 (30 clusters with 13 individuals)

Abbreviations: ICC: intracluster correlation; MD: mean difference; SD: standard deviation; WAZ: weight‐for‐age z‐score

aThis example is based on the expected effect size of nutrition education on WAZ, in food insecure populations, as reported by Bhutta 2013.
