Prompt

Act as a clinical research methodologist. I will describe [your research question and study population]. Design a study protocol: 1. Study Design — recommend and justify the design (RCT, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional). 2. Population — define inclusion and exclusion criteria with clinical precision. 3. Sample Size — estimate the minimum sample needed for adequate power. State your assumptions. 4. Intervention and Comparator — define exactly what each group receives. 5. Primary Outcome — state the primary endpoint and how it will be measured. 6. Blinding Strategy — who is blinded, and how? What are the unblinding criteria? 7. Statistical Analysis Plan — pre-specify the primary analysis, secondary analyses, and subgroup analyses. 8. Ethical Considerations — informed consent, data safety monitoring, stopping rules. This is an educational protocol template. Actual clinical research requires ethics committee approval and qualified oversight.
