Question

The results of a recent study showed that children who routinely drank reduced fat milk (1% or skim) were more likely to be overweight or obese at age 2 and age 4 compared to children who drank whole or 2% milk (scharf, demmer, and deboer, 2013). is this an example of an experimental or a nonexperimental study?

Answer 1

Answer

Experimental

Explanation

An experimental research is any conducted research with a scientific approach where a set of variables are kept constant while the other set   of variables are measured as the subject of the experiment.The study involves the random assignment of participant into different groups.

To be considered as an experimental study, it should give some sort of treatments to a group and recording the effects. (such as controlling type of mil children drink). Despite the uncertainty whether the result is accurate.
