A control group is an untreated research sample against which all other groups or samples in the research is compared. A control group is constructed to produce an estimate of the counter-factual, that is, what would have happened if an intervention had not been implemented. A control group is constructed by randomly assigning people to either the control group or to one or more "treatment" groups.

C4D Hub: Develop program theory or logic model
Development ThemeWhat is it?
A program theory or logic model explains how the activities of an intervention are understood to contribute to a chain of results (short-term outputs, medium-term outcomes) that produce ultimate intended or actual impacts.
