What is the primary reason for randomizing group allocation in a randomized controlled trial (RCT)? Question 3 options: to create treatment and control groups of equal size to blind participants to their group allocation to evenly distribute known and unknown factors that may affect the outcome between groups to increase the treatment effect between intervention and control groups
I am stuck on four questions for this lab and they are: 1. What is the question being investigated in this experiment. 2. What is the independent variable? 3. What is the dependent variable? 17. What are the control treatments?
1. 40 OT students were randomized into two groups and 40 nursing students were randomized into two groups. One of the OT groups and one of the nursing groups were given the opportunity to participate in a research project and present their data at an IPE conference. The other group of OT students and nursing students completed their normal course work. At the end of the semester the faculty measured all of their students’ knowledge about research design and confidence presenting information to others. (a) Independent Variable(s): (b) Dependent Variables(s): (c) Research Design: 2. 60 participants with a diagnosis of bulbar type ALS were divided into two groups to work with SLP either 3 times a week for 1 hour or 6 times a week for 2 hours. At the end of the study, all participants completed an assessment of speech quality and swallowing ability. (a) Independent Variable(s): (b) Dependent Variables(s): (c) Research Design:
Which of the following statements is not true? a. Some RCTs may involve "cross-over" as part of their design b. Community trials may or may not involve randomization c. The participants for a randomized controlled trial must be randomly selected from the target population d. All RCT participants randomized into the treatment group and the control group must be included in data analysis, even if some of them did not complete the study

In an experiment, the control group is used to: a Change the variable b Provide a baseline for comparison with the test group c add additional non-dependent variables d demonstrate correlation rather than causation e generate hypotheses
In a controlled experiment, all of the variables are kept the same in order to be consistent. There is only one variable that is changed for these kinds of studies, and it is known as the __________ ___________ (2 words).
The null hypothesis is: That the measured value is zero That the proposed model is not correct and the measured factors have no effect on the pattern That the proposed model is correct and perfectly explains the pattern That the experiment is null and void
