Researchers can take several steps to increase the power of their studies:
Increase Sample Size: One of the most straightforward ways to increase power is to increase the number of participants. Improve Measurement Precision: Reducing measurement error and variability can enhance power. Optimize Study Design: Using efficient study designs, such as randomized controlled trials, can increase power. Adjust Significance Level: In some cases, increasing the alpha level can increase power, although this also increases the risk of Type I errors.
