Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quasi-experimental research designs lack the random assignment of participants to treatment or control groups, which places them lower in the hierarchy of evidence than randomized controlled trials (Level II) but above non-experimental studies like case studies or expert opinions. Therefore, they are often considered Level III evidence.
