non-randomized control group designs
Non-randomized control group designs refer to research studies where participants are not randomly assigned to different groups. Instead, individuals naturally self-select into groups, and one group is assigned to receive the experimental treatment while the other acts as a control, without any intervention. This type of design lacks the random assignment element typically used to minimize bias and ensure comparability between groups.
