  • two or more groups at random, given different treatments, and observed for the results. The control is a baseline or comparison group, allowing researchers to measure the effect of a treatment by comparing the outcomes of the other groups. Experimental groups will be subjected to an intervention and the outcome will be studied and compared to the other groups.
    -the trial is to be blinded, means subjects or researchers do not know whether they are in experimental or control group
