The meaning of randomized, controlled, and double-blind study.
Introduction:
Scientific research can take many different forms, including experiments, comparative evaluations, observational studies, surveys, and interviews. The research question being answered is the primary determinant of the study type. A study must be precisely conducted from the beginning in order to produce an accurate result. Which study type is most appropriate for the research question is one factor that is very crucial to take into account.

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
When randomizing people to the intervention v. control group in the context of a randomized controlled trial, you should:
Choose to enroll the people who are most likely to comply with your study protocol into the intervention group to avoid the problem of people not following through with the prescribed treatment you wish to study and thus lowering your chances of detecting an effect.
Allow people to give their informed consent to participate in your study after they find out whether they have been randomized to one of the groups (either intervention or control), so that people who have doubts about any potential risks can make an informed choice about their participation after knowing what group they will be in.
Make sure that you are aware of which people are in the intervention group and which are in the control group so that you can tailor your research questions to their groups.
