A candy company wants to measure the effect of their newest creation, 'Fizzy-Bubble Tarts' on the hyperactivity of children. They recruit a group of children from one play group that receives 'Fizzy-Bubble Tarts' daily, and another from a play group that just receives a cup of fruit juice. Over a series of 5 weeks, experimenters collect behavioural data every day from the parents of children in both groups. What kind of design best describes this study's design?
