GCU Library and explain how each research type differs from the others. When replying to
peers, evaluate the effectiveness of the research design of the study for two of the examples
provided.
Experimental Article:
This article is experimental due to the randomized clinical trial. The study is looking at the
efficacy of three types of Lidocaine, topical spray, topical cream, and injection for intrauterine
device insertion. The women in the study were divided into three groups in a random method of
closed envelope draw.

Quasi-experimental Article:
This article is quasi-experimental due to the use of two different blanket temperatures for safety
and comfort. The study randomized adult patients into two groups, a study group that received
blankets at 155 degrees F, and a control group that received blankets at 110 degrees F. The
results of the study concluded that it was safe for patients to receive blankets with a temperature
of 155 degrees F and that these patients had a higher skin temperature within 10 minutes and
thermal comfort. Although this study used randomization, it is still quasi-experimental as it is
looking for a causal relation between blanket temperatures and patient comfort.
