Randomized Complete Block Design
Randomized block design is an
experimental design in which the
subjects or experimental units are
grouped into blocks, with the
different treatments to be tested
randomly assigned to the units in
each block. Randomized blocking
can help the researcher account for
potentially unwanted variables.

This is called two group design https://www.eduhk.hk/apfslt/

Parallel Group Design A parallel group design is an

experimental study design in which
each subject is randomized to one of
two or more distinct
treatment/intervention groups.
Those who are assigned to the same
treatment are referred to as a
treatment group.

One Strat Design A study strategy in which one group

is studied after undergoing a single
event, treatment, or intervention.
