The fоllоwing is а descriptiоn of а study thаt examined whether diet type affects health. The subjects, 605 survivors of a heart attack, were randomly assigned follow either (1) a diet close to the "prudent diet step 1" of the American Heart Association (control group) or (2) a Mediterranean-type diet consisting of more bread and cereals, more fresh fruit and vegetables, more grains, more fish, fewer delicatessen food, less meat. An experimental canola-oil-based margarine was used instead of butter or cream. The oils recommended for salad and food preparation were canola and olive oils exclusively. Moderate red wine consumption was allowed. Over a four-year period, patients in the experimental condition were initially seen by the dietician, two months later, and then once a year. Compliance with the dietary intervention was checked by a dietary survey and analyses of plasma fatty acids. Patients in the control group were expected to follow the dietary advice given by their physician. The researchers collected information on number of deaths from cardiovascular causes e.g., heart attack, strokes, as well as number of nonfatal heart-related episodes. The occurrence of malignant and nonmalignant tumors was also carefully monitored. Which of the following is the best description of the type of study?
