Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In the first stage, the selection of those eligible to enter the study is done in an easy and accessible way, but after the selection of those eligible to enter the study, the participants are randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. Randomization is done by block method. In this way, we prepare 18 sheets of paper and write the letter A on 9 sheets and the letter B on the other 9 sheets. In the study, one of the sheets is taken out randomly and according to whether it is group A or B, it is assigned to the intervention and control group, and the sheets drawn out do not return to the drawer until all 18 sheets have been drawn, and after completion 18 sheets are returned to the drawer and the above operation is repeated until the number of samples is complete
