An interventional study is classified as what type of study?

  1. Experimental
  2. Descriptive
  3. Analytical observational
  4. Cross-sectional
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Experimental

Interventional studies are EXPERIMENTAL — the researcher actively intervenes (e.g., gives a treatment or placebo) and observes results. RCTs are the classic example. Descriptive studies simply describe phenomena. Analytical studies observe and analyze without intervention. Cross-sectional is a type of observational study. Experimental = interventional.
