Strategies to mitigate reduced statistical power include:
Increasing Sample Size: Often, the most straightforward method to increase power is to increase the sample size. Improving Measurement Techniques: Utilizing reliable and valid measurement tools can reduce measurement error and increase power. Refining Study Design: Employing robust study designs, such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), helps to minimize bias and increase power. Adjusting Significance Level: While not always advisable, adjusting the significance level can sometimes help to balance power and Type I error risk.
