Question

I need answer fast please.. akso provide the explanation.

For several years, a major medical practice has asked each of its patients to complete a medical checklist of behaviours and symptoms at least once per year. The medical
practice would now like to assess the effectiveness of a smoking cessation program. Specifically, the practice recruits 50 patients who have volunteered to participate in
the smoking cessation program and be tracked for two years afterwards. To create a control group, the practice uses a computer algorithm to screen the other patients in
the practice to identify other smokers in the practice who are similar in characteristics, behaviours, and symptoms. This results in a control group of 200 additional
hospital patients who are also tracked over the two year period. The plan is to see if, at the end of the study, the patients who completed the smoking cessation program
have lower smoking rates than the control group of smokers who did not participate in the program.
Indicate which of the following statements are true about this design (select all that apply):
This is a "true" experiment that uses random assignment to conditions.
This is a quasi-experiment that uses non-equivalent control groups.
The researcher is planning to use a randomized matched-groups design to create the comparison groups.
The researcher is planning to use equating to create non-equivalent comparison groups.
The researcher is planning to use a waitlist design to create the comparison groups.
The researcher is planning to use a masked placebo control to create the comparison groups.
