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