French term or phrase: groupe d'intervention
Chez les mères et les bébés ayant eu ces consultations de suivi, le taux de caries est diminué de 48 % par rapport au groupe témoin (10,2 % vs 18,3 %). Dans le groupe d’intervention on a une moindre consommation de biscuits (p = 0,00), miel (p = 0,003), sodas (p = 0,02), fromages frais (p = 0,001), chocolat et sucreries (p = 0,001).

Is this just "target group"or "group studied"?
