The Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) website provides information about various ongoing
and completed education-related RCTs in the United States. Any visitor can browse the RCTs based on
the title of the study, the study’s sponsor organization, or its unit of randomization. All registered RCTs
receive a WWC Registration Number, and those registered prior to trial completion are indicated by a
WWC Star Rating.
