PY - 2020 T2 - Foundations of Clinical Research: Applications to Evidence-Based Practice, 4e AB - The simplest experimental comparison involves the use of two independent groups within a randomized controlled trial (RCT). This design allows the researcher to assume that all individual differences are evenly distributed between the groups at baseline, and therefore, observed differences after the application of an intervention to one group should reflect a significant difference, one that is unlikely to be the result of chance.
