Content of the course
The randomized controlled trial (RCT) is considered as the most rigorous method of determining whether a cause-effect relationship exists between an intervention and outcome. The strength of the RCT lies in the process of randomization that is unique to this type of study design. There are a lot of important considerations before deciding on and initiating a RCT, which will be dealt with in the course.
