Primary Data Methods

Primary Data Methods - U.S. National Library of Medicine Primary data methods involve collection of original data, ranging from more scientifically rigorous approaches for determining the causal effect of health technologies, such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), to less rigorous ones, such as case series. These study designs can be described and categorized based on multiple attributes or dimensions, e.g.: Comparative vs. non-comparative Separate (i.e., external) control group vs. no separate (i.e., internal) control group Participants (study populations /groups) defined by a health outcome vs. by having been exposed to, or received or been assigned, an intervention Prospective vs. retrospective Interventional vs. observational Experimental vs. non-experimental Random assignment vs. non-random assignment of patients to treatment and control groups
