  • 1. We start with the defined population or the group of people who are eligible for our trial.
  • 2. Then through an allocation process, usually randomization, we decide who is assigned to which treatment group. As shown in picture above, we are deciding who will be assigned to receive the new treatment versus who will be assigned to receive the current treatment.
  • 3. In the bottom row of boxes, we see that we will observe after some period of time, who among those assigned to new treatment has improved and who has not improved, and who among those assigned to current treatment has improved and who has not improved.
