A design that allows for evaluating the effects of multiple interventions and their interactions within a clinical trial. 1, record 2, English, - factorial%20design
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Most trials consider only one experimental intervention, comparing it with one or more options or a placebo. In a trial using a 2 x 2 factorial design, participants are allocated to one of four possible combinations. For example, in a randomised controlled trial of a nicotine replacement therapy and counselling, participants would be allocated to : nicotine replacement therapy alone, counselling alone, both, or neither. In this way it is possible to test the independent effect of each intervention on smoking cessation and the combined effect of(interaction between) the two interventions. 1, record 2, English, - factorial%20design

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La plupart des essais n’examinent qu’une seule intervention expérimentale en la comparant à une ou plusieurs options ou à un placebo. Dans un essai utilisant un plan factoriel 2 x 2, les participants sont affectés à une combinaison sur quatre possibles. Par exemple, dans un essai clinique randomisé portant sur une thérapie de substitution de la nicotine et un counselling, les participants se verraient allouer la thérapie de substitution seule, le counselling seul, les deux ou aucun des deux. De cette façon, on peut vérifier l’effet indépendant de chaque intervention sur la désaccoutumance au tabac et l’effet combiné (interaction) de deux interventions. 1, record 2, French, - plan%20factoriel

Governments establish public inquiries to investigate and report on matters of substantial public interest related to good governance or public business within a jurisdiction... A commission of inquiry is established and paid for by government; however, it is an independent body. A public inquiry is not a trial. The commission performs its duties without expressing conclusions about civil or criminal liability of any person or organization. Commissions of Inquiry hear evidence through public hearings. The hearing functions in much the same way as a court of law, although not all of the same rules apply... 2, record 3, English, - board%20of%20inquiry

Une commission d'enquête est une enquête administrative convoquée normalement dans le but d'examiner des événements complexes ou importants et d'en faire rapport. La commission d'enquête permet de déterminer ce qui s'est produit, comment et pourquoi, puis propose des mesures susceptibles d'empêcher une répétition de ce qui s'est passé. Il ne s'agit pas d'une enquête criminelle. 4, record 3, French, - commission%20d%27enqu%C3%AAte
