Self-efficacy ; adherence to treatment

Random Block Division Selects blocks of people and distributes treatment randomly among them.We select blocks of people and distribute treatment in them randomly, for example, we group the population into 6 to 6 and in each group we distribute the treatments randomly. In this way, the number of people in the group increases gradually and evenly.

In order to blind, the study of distribution and collection of questionnaires and data analysis will be done by people who do not know about the distribution of samples in groups.
