Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quasi-experimental design is used when researchers cannot randomly assign subjects or manipulate conditions due to ethical or practical constraints. This type of design allows for comparison between groups, but with limitations, as subjects are not randomly assigned. The other options listed (retrospective cohort, cross-sectional, and observational) do not necessarily address the issue of non-random assignment, and may not be appropriate for certain types of research questions.
