Randomization, masking and careful allocation concealment minimizes the potential for selection bias. In an unmasked trial, selection bias can be mitigated by the use of randomization procedures with minimal predictability.
Blinding of study personnel to the patients exposure and outcome status, or if not possible, having different examiners measure the outcome than those who evaluated the exposure, can also decrease bias.
To avoid this, use open-ended questions that allow users to express their own opinions and experiences and ask neutral and unbiased questions that do not imply a preferred answer or outcome. Additionally, challenge your own assumptions and hypotheses, and seek out alternative or opposing perspectives.
Methods to reduce the risk of selection bias Simple randomisation. Do not stratify by site of recruitment if restricted randomisation is used. If randomisation is stratified by site, avoid permuted blocks. If restricted randomisation is used, balance on prognostic covariates as well.
The sample population studied can have a major effect on the generalizability of an RCT. If the sample is overly restricted by not including women (gender bias) or people over (or under) a specific age group (age bias), the results may not be generalizable to people who do not belong to the groups.

Single-blind: The participants in a study might drop out from study or might give false assessment if they come to know that they are receiving no treatment. In addition, they might develop a placebo effect, if they know they are receiving new treatment. All these biases can be eliminated by single-blinding.
The best way of eliminating selection bias, then, is by randomizing patients properly into groups. Randomization is achieved by using any method that gives every participant an equal chance to be allocated into any of the study groups.
Blinding the allocated treatment to the participant and/or the investigators may prevent such bias. Blinding is of special interest when the trial outcome is subjective, like the reduction in pain, or when an experimental treatment is being compared to a placebo.
Randomization is the method adopted to eliminate the bias of selection and confounder. It has got two steps; generation of random number and concealment of the random number from the dispensing physician (allocation concealment).
