2. WHEN IS IT APPROPRIATE TO USE QUASI- EXPERIMENTAL METHODS? Quasi-experimental methods that involve the creation of a comparison group are most often used when it is not possible to randomize individuals or groups to treatment and control groups. This is always the case for ex-post impact evaluation designs.
When would you use a quasi-experimental design?
Quasi-experimental design is most useful in situations where it would be unethical or impractical to run a true experiment.
When would you use a quasi experiment rather than an experiment?
True experiments, in which all the important factors that might affect the phenomena of interest are completely controlled, are the preferred design. Often, however, it is not possible or practical to control all the key factors, so it becomes necessary to implement a quasi-experimental research design.
