Effective tool in exploring optimum treatments to improve care. Researchers are active agents rather than observers. Repeate rct are gold standard for informing ebp (level 1 evidence) Characteristics of experiments: manipulation, control, randomization. Examples of experimental designs: post-test only design, pretest/post test design, cross over design.
