Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this research, randomization method is used to assign samples to intervention and control groups. First, each participant receives a unique ID. These IDs are randomly written on cards and the cards are thrown into a large container. Then, the cards are shuffled and taken out in turn. Each ID is randomly assigned to different groups. To determine the intervention and control groups, the set of cards is divided into two groups and each group is randomly assigned to one of the groups. This process ensures that the allocation of participants to groups is done without prejudice and randomly, which reduces the possibility of bias in the research results.
