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.

One of the OT groups and one of the nursing groups were given the opportunity to participate in a research project and present their data at an IPE conference. The other group of OT students and nursing students completed their normal course work. At the end of the semester the faculty measured all of their students’ knowledge about research design and confidence presenting information to others.
