Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)

A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is an experimental form of impact evaluation in which the population receiving the programme or policy intervention is chosen at random from the eligible population, and a control group is also chosen at random from the same eligible population. It tests the extent to which specific, planned impacts are being achieved. The distinguishing feature of an RCT is the random assignment of units (e.g. people, schools, villages, etc.) to the intervention or control groups. One of its strengths is that it provides a very powerful response to questions of causality, helping evaluators and programme implementers to know that what is being achieved is as a result of the intervention and not anything else.

Intervention and control meaning?

[@mutelarsorhougbe4606]

Intervention means that the person controlling the experiment has given them a treatment rather than left them alone- so they have INTERVENED. Control means that nothing has been given to them/ changes about them- they have been left alone so they can be used to compare how effective that treatment (intervention) is.

is this even ethical? why not share the sources that may(or may not) contribute to the development of young children with as much children as you can, as long as they are not found to be harmful within the limitations of scientific knowledge.
