Abstract: The article presents the author's view on the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that constitute the gold standard for assessing the effectivity of interventions for children. He mentions that RCT is used in determining the effects of institutional deprivation on the psychological, social, and physical aspects of children, as well as finding out whether specific institutional features had the predicted effects. He argues that the costs of an RCT are a major loss of control over the intended interventions and a major constraint on the quality of measurement of both child development and child-rearing practices. He also adds that one of the considerable strengths of RCT lay in the choice of a no-intervention institution with top quality services addressing the needs of the children.
