There are several strategies to increase statistical power in epidemiological studies:
Increase Sample Size: The most direct way to increase power is to include more participants in the study. Decrease Variability: Use more precise measurement tools or control for variables that contribute to noise. Increase Effect Size: Focus on subgroups where the effect is expected to be larger. Adjust Significance Level: Although not generally recommended, increasing the α level (e.g., from 0.01 to 0.05) can increase power.
