Randomization description
-
Samples will be randomly divided into experimental and control groups using a table of random numbers.
The researcher first determines whether the odd or even numbers belong to the intervention or control group. To select sample people from the table, the researcher randomly starts from a point in the table in the direction of the row or column. The selection of the point can be done by closing the eyes and placing a finger or the tip of a pen on the table. The movement does not differ in the direction of the row or column, and this is up to the researcher.
To select the numbers from the debate, he puts the numbers in separate envelopes and numbers the envelopes in order from number one. Envelope number one belongs to the first person. And since we have already determined that the even and odd numbers in the envelope belong to the intervention or control group, the participants will be placed in the relevant group.
