• CONDUCTED TO IDENTIFY CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS
• CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS ON PEOPLE
– Treat People Differently and See How They Respond
– Notice if There are Differences Based on Variables You Can Not Control

Does Smoking Cause Cancer?Does Smoking Cause Cancer?
• Exploratory Research
“In twenty five years, involved in the care of patients with lung cancer, more than 3000 cases, taking a careful history of smoking in all patients, I have never seen a case of small cell lung cancer in a
non-smoker; nor have I ever seen a case of large cell undifferentiated lung cancer in a non-smoker. I have seen one case of squamous
cancer in a non-smoker.” Frederic W. Grannis Jr. M.D
