## Caption

We’re wrapping up #HealthLiteracyMonth with our last #clinicaltrial term: randomization. 
Randomization is a process used to prevent bias in #clinicaltrials by randomly assigning participants into different treatment groups. Details like a participant’s age, sex, or severity of illness might be considered in assigning him or her to a treatment group, to ensure each group is similar. This approach allows two or more treatments to be compared objectively and helps ensure the outcome of the study is statistically valid. #HealthLitMonth #WordoftheDay
