Here are some examples of real-time quasi-experimental designs:
Evaluating the impact of a new teaching method: In this study, a group of students are taught using a new teaching method, while another group is taught using the traditional method. The test scores of both groups are compared before and after the intervention to determine whether the new teaching method had a significant impact on student performance.
Assessing the effectiveness of a public health campaign: In this study, a public health campaign is launched to promote healthy eating habits among a targeted population. The behavior of the population is compared before and after the campaign to determine whether the intervention had a significant impact on the target behavior.
Examining the impact of a new medication: In this study, a group of patients is given a new medication, while another group is given a placebo. The outcomes of both groups are compared to determine whether the new medication had a significant impact on the targeted health condition.
Evaluating the effectiveness of a job training program: In this study, a group of unemployed individuals is enrolled in a job training program, while another group is not enrolled in any program. The employment rates of both groups are compared before and after the intervention to determine whether the training program had a significant impact on the employment rates of the participants.
Assessing the impact of a new policy: In this study, a new policy is implemented in a particular area, while another area does not have the new policy. The outcomes of both areas are compared before and after the intervention to determine whether the new policy had a significant impact on the targeted behavior or outcome.
