Thank you, I hadn't known there was a distinction between "observational" and "interventional" studies, but now it seems like an important idea I could use to parse all the pop science that people talk about all day.

- TeMPOraL 10y agoI like this link better: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4083571/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4083571/ The short definitions from your link seem to say that interventional studies are ones with interventions, and observational studies don't have interventions except when they do. This is pretty confusing.
