Abstract
Sample size requirements are provided for designs of studies in which clusters are randomized within each of several strata, where cluster size itself may be a stratifying factor. The approach generalizes a formula derived by Woolson et al., which provides sample size requirements for the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel statistic. Issues of data analysis are also discussed.
