An Australian example of this approach was the Gatehouse Project, a group randomised trial employed to address risky health behaviours and improve emotional well-being in secondary school aged children [ 32].
When platelet transfusion was introduced in the 1950s, no clinical trials were employed to assess the utility of platelet therapy compared to placebo, and such trials today might be considered unethical.

Often, data from previously conducted randomized drug trials are employed to conduct such validations if archived tissue is available and appropriate for the marker.
Epidemiological studies using appropriate cohort populations or randomised control trials are employed to provide an evidence base for estimating the levels of risk before and after the introduction of risk mitigation initiatives.
Furthermore, when a one-month, semi-permanent, tunnelled trial was employed to test ONS system efficacy before implantation, the long-term outcome in CM patients was still only 47%, despite an accurate evaluation of trial outcomes through specific pain questionnaires [26].
It was Sir Austin Bradford Hill (sometimes referred to as Bradford Hill, or Bradford-Hill), a British statistician and epidemiologist, who promoted the use of randomization for clinical trial research employed to test health care interventions, a position he took prior to World War II [ 4].
A smaller two-laboratory trial was employed to investigate the influence of incubation time of zone size.
A parallel group, randomized controlled trial was employed to ensure rigor, enable more valid and reliable conclusions to be drawn, and overcome methodological criticisms of previous research conducted in the field generally.
A two-arm, parallel-group randomised controlled trial was employed to investigate whether coaches who attended 2 coach education sessions (compared with a no-treatment control) can increase their players' MVPA during training sessions over a 5-day basketball program.
