O. What is the research design of
the first study?*
*CAUTION: Programs ultimately
considered to be evidence-based,
specifically EBRR programs, will have at
least one study using study designs 1-3.
Study designs rated 4 will not be
considered for evidence review because
they are not study designs that can
provide evidence.
Experimental: Well-designed randomized field trial
Quasi-experimental A: Uses a credible comparison group, with extensive information provided
on pre-treatment equivalence of groups (includes time series comparison group design, etc.)
Quasi-experimental B: Uses a comparison group but lacks comparability on important
preexisting variables or lacks information on pre-treatment equivalence of groups (includes
time series single group design, etc.)
Non-experimental: Includes one group pretest-posttest, one- and two-group posttest only,
case studies, or other
If non-experimental was selected, please describe:
