Selected Answer: D. Intention-to-treat analysis Answers: A. Power analysis B. Per-protocol analysis C. Analysis of covariance D. Intention-to-treat analysis Response Feedback: An intention-to-treat analysis maintains the integrity of randomization by keeping participants in the groups to which they were randomly assigned—even if they drop out of the study. A per-protocol analysis only analyzes data from members of the treatment group if they received the intervention. Power analysis and ANCOVA do not have a bearing on analyzing trial data when there is attrition.  Question 2 0 out of 10 points Which strategy can achieve constancy of conditions in implementing a treatment?

Using a homogeneous sample Answers: A. Instituting manipulation checks B. Having standardized research protocols C. Maximizing precision D. Using a homogeneous sample Response Feedback: The careful development of standard protocols is an important strategy for enhancing constancy of conditions in implementing an intervention; monitoring adherence to the protocols is also an important aspect of intervention fidelity. Using a homogenous sample and instituting manipulation checks do not contribute to the faithful implementation of an intervention. Efforts to maximize precision include using highly accurate measures and controlling confounding variables, but these are unrelated to efforts to achieve intervention fidelity.  Question 3 10 out of 10 points Women with and without lymphedema following breast cancer surgery were compared in terms of their prior body mass index. What type of design did the researcher use? Selected Answer: B. Casecontrol Answers: A. Time series B. Casecontrol C. Crossover D. Prospecti ve Response Feedback: In this example, the researcher began with the outcome for two This study source was downloaded by 100000831988016 from CourseHero.com on 03-20-2026 13:52:42 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/23748720/Quiz-5-Breezy/ groups, those with and without lymphedema, and looked back in time to see if body weight was a potential risk factor. This is a retrospective case-control design. Prospective designs studies begin with a presumed cause (e.g., weight) and look forward in time for its effects on outcomes of interest. Both time series and crossover designs involve an intervention, which is not the case in this example.
