Question

a team of researchers is testing the effectiveness of a new hpv vaccine. they randomly divide the subjects into two groups. group 1 receives new hpv vaccine, and group 2 receives existing hpv vaccine. the patients in the study do not know which group they are in. which is the treatment group? group 1 group 2 neither group which is the control group (if there is one)? group 1 group 2 no control group is this study blind, double blind, or neither? blind double - blind neither which best describes this research? clinical study placebo controlled experiment controlled experiment experiment

Explanation:

• Treatment group: The treatment group is the one that receives the new intervention (new HPV vaccine). So Group 1 is the treatment group.
• Control group: The control group is the one that receives the standard or existing treatment (existing HPV vaccine). So Group 2 is the control group.
• Blind study: In a blind study, the participants do not know which treatment (group) they are in. Since patients do not know which group they are in, it is a blind study.
• Type of research: A controlled experiment has a treatment group and a control group. Here, Group 1 (treatment - new vaccine) and Group 2 (control - existing vaccine) make it a controlled experiment. A clinical study is more about patient - centered care and observation in a medical setting. A placebo - controlled experiment would have a group receiving a placebo (inactive substance), which is not the case here. An experiment is a more general term, but the presence of a control group (with an existing treatment) makes it a controlled experiment.

Answer:

• Which is the treatment group? Group 1
• Which is the control group (if there is one)? Group 2
• Is this study blind, double blind, or neither? Blind
• Which best describes this research? Controlled Experiment
