The Bucharest Early Intervention Project was a prospective, randomized controlled study because it involved random assignment of children to either an intervention group or a control group (children remaining in institutional care or living with their families) and then compared the outcomes of these groups over time. This design allows for the examination of the effects of the intervention in a controlled manner.
