title: [Development and evaluation of complex intervention].
abstract: Experimental studies with only one intervention are not always sufficient for health care issues, while the method of complex intervention is more useful. But the complex intervention is more complicated and needs carefully design and evaluation. This article will introduce the framework for design and evaluation of complex intervention and the revised version made by Medical Research Council, with five examples showing its application.
