An interventional study (where the researcher actively assigns or manipulates an exposure, such as a treatment) is classified under which type of epidemiological study?

  1. Experimental
  2. Descriptive
  3. Analytical
  4. Observational
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Experimental

Interventional studies — where the researcher actively assigns the exposure/intervention being studied (as in a randomized controlled trial) — are classified as experimental studies, distinguishing them from observational studies (descriptive or analytical), where researchers simply observe exposures and outcomes without assigning the intervention themselves.
