A confounder can be accounted for in different types of experimental design. Generally, the most common ways to adjust a confounder are 1) to include it in the model, 2) to perform a stratified analysis on the confounder if it is categorical, or 3) to match cases and controls by the confounder in the experimental design process (i.e., to obtain equal number of males and females if the confounder is gender specific).
