Attrition - ANSWERS-Loss of participants during a study
diffusion of treatment - ANSWERS-Changes in participants'

, History - ANSWERS-External events that take place during
the course of a research study that influence the outcome of
the study.
Subject Effects - ANSWERS-Participants are not passive
