Wait-list control

In research studies examing therapy or medication treatments, a wait-list control group is a group of people who are not initially offered any treatment, but receive it weeks/months later. During the time they are not getting treatment, they can be compared to others who are receiving treatment. This allows researchers to compare improvements in symptoms between those who receive treatment vs those who do not receive treatment.
