- QUOTE: Group-randomized trials are comparative studies in which (1) the units of assignment are identifiable groups and (2) the units of observation are members of those groups. In this context, an identifiable group refers quite broadly to any group that is not constituted at random, so that there are some physical, geographic, social, or other connections among its members.
