- 1. 40 OT students were randomized into two groups and 40 nursing students were randomized into two 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.

That the treatment and control groups differ with respect to outcome when in fact they do not. Correctly that the treatment and control groups do not differ with respect to outcome. That the treatment and control groups do not differ with respect to outcome when in fact they do. That you don’t have sufficient information to present results.arrow_forward
