-Tests the null hypothesis by means of *applying an intervention to
experimental subjects*, but not to control subjects; and then measuring
the effect on a dependent variable
Epidemiologic studies Correct Answer ✓✓ Foundation for disease
control and prevention through tracking the prevalence of the disease,
