How much do you know about Randomized Control Trials?
The Role of RCTs in Counselling Research
Presented by Dr. Dan Cox, PhD.
The strengths and limitations of RCTs for interpersonal interventions is a widely debated topic. However, many in the profession may have never implemented an RCT themselves.
