What type of group receives specific treatments in an experimental study?

Comparison group
Control group
Treatment group
Sample group

The correct answer is: Treatment group

In an experimental study, the treatment group is the one that receives the specific interventions or treatments being tested. This group is crucial for research as it allows researchers to evaluate the effects of the treatment compared to other groups that may not receive the same treatment or intervention. By analyzing the results from the treatment group, researchers can determine whether the treatment has a significant impact on the outcomes of interest. The treatment group is often contrasted with other groups in the study, such as control or comparison groups, which either receive no treatment or a different treatment. This setup helps in establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between the treatment and the observed effects. Understanding how the treatment group responds to the intervention enables researchers to draw conclusions about the efficacy of the new intervention being studied.
