Similar to randomized trials, quasi-experiments aim to demonstrate causality between an intervention and an outcome. Quasi-experimental studies can use both preintervention and postintervention measurements as well as nonrandomly selected control groups.
Quasi-experimental design attempts to establish a cause-and-effect relationship by using criteria other than randomization.
Quasi-experimental designs allow implementation scientists to conduct rigorous studies in these contexts, albeit with certain limitations. We briefly review the characteristics of these designs here; other recent review articles are available for the interested reader (e.g. Handley et al., 2018).
Quasi-experimental design is a research method that seeks to evaluate the causal relationships between variables, but without the full control over the independent variable(s) that is available in a true experimental design.
Quasi-experimental research is a quantitative research method. It involves numerical data collection and statistical analysis. Quasi-experimental research compares groups with different circumstances or treatments to find cause-and-effect links. It draws statistical conclusions from quantitative data.
Quasi-experimental designs (QEDs) are increasingly employed to achieve a better balance between internal and external validity. Although these designs are often referred to and summarized in terms of logistical benefits versus threats to internal validity, there is still uncertainty about: (1) how to select from among various QEDs, and (2 ...
Explain what quasi-experimental research is and distinguish it clearly from both experimental and correlational research. Describe three different types of quasi-experimental research designs (nonequivalent groups, pretest-posttest, and interrupted time series) and identify examples of each one.
What is a Quasi Experimental Design? A quasi experimental design is a method for identifying causal relationships that does not randomly assign participants to the experimental groups. Instead, researchers use a non-random process. For example, they might use an eligibility cutoff score or preexisting groups to determine who receives the treatment.
Specifically, we describe four quasi-experimental designs – one-group pretest–posttest designs, non-equivalent group designs, regression discontinuity designs, and interrupted time-series designs – and their statistical analyses in detail.
A quasi-experiment is an empirical interventional study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on target population without random assignment.
