Define single-subject design and identify two strengths and two limitations.
Describe and assess the study design in the provided research article.
Suppose you would like to evaluate the outcomes of your chosen EBP intervention on your client from Week 1 (Tiffani, Jake, or Paula). How would you do so? Which single-subject design (e.g., AB, ABC, ABAB, BAB) would you choose and why?
Identify one benefit or drawback of the approach they have identified and explain why.
TO PREPARE
Review the Learning Resources on using a single-subject design to evaluate practice. Determine the strengths and limitations of this design.
Select one single-subject design research article provided in the Learning Resources. While reading it, make note of how the study was conducted (the methodology).
Consider the different ways to plan a single-subject design evaluation, including AB, ABC, ABAB, and BAB. Determine which one you would use with your client from Week 1 (e.g., Tiffani, Jake, or Paula).
