Experimental: manipulate things/variablesObservational: observe things
Peer Review: evidence based research/practicesReally want to know if the treatment is helping more than it hurtsNeed to have reliable sources
Look at observational methods(covert vs overt)Know pros and consOvert=the people know they are being watched
