Define single-subject design and identify two strengths and two limitations

• 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).
