Dear Omar Manjang,
We need to know what's your study design and specific objectives as well. What main outcome measure are you looking for? These are essentials for sample size calculation. If your design is cross-sectional and you wish to know the prevalence, you may need to do a literature search first to identify what previous study has found.
Good luck!
Are you going to do cluster RT or individual randomized control trial? I think y
Dear Omar,
The best place to start is from your literature review. Are there articles that have been published in your area of study and what method did they use to select their sample. Are you able to replicate the same in your study? Sample size estimation will depend on what you intend to look at and Iagree with Kurubaran.
