Quasi-experimental designs are research methods that allow researchers to evaluate the effects of an intervention or treatment without random assignment to groups. These designs are useful in real-world settings where randomization is not feasible, and they help to assess causal relationships while accounting for pre-existing differences between groups. In the context of psychological impacts and mental health support, quasi-experimental designs can provide valuable insights into how different interventions affect mental health outcomes.
