Many intervention studies typically require data from several centres to ensure adequate power. The usual intention is to pool data after testing for heterogeneity. Sites that differ in sample characteristics may, on the one hand, complicate the assessment of the intervention, but on the other hand, they may add important insights through analysis of site-specific findings.
