You conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of a new paleo diet to reduce obesity among clinic patients with a BMI > 30. Patients are randomly assigned to the new paleo diet or standard of care (low carb diet) as a comparison, and follow for six months.
You notice during the follow-up period that 35% of the patients assigned to the standard of care (low carb diet) decided to try the paleo diet because they learned about the beneficial effects on Dr. Oz show.
How do you call this problem in your study? And what might be the effects on your study findings? (0.4 points)
