ABSTRACT We show that cluster‐randomized trials—especially pragmatic designs—often exhibit substantial (but underappreciated in practice) heterogeneity in cluster sizes and structures, distorting inference. Our simulations—reassigning treatment in real data and varying imbalance in synthetic data—show that currently recommended methods (such as ...
