সারসংক্ষেপ	The cluster randomized multiple baseline design combines cluster-level random assignment with the logic of the multiple baseline design. Intact groups — such as classrooms, schools, or clinics — are randomly assigned to receive an intervention at staggered time points. This preserves the within-unit repeated-measure logic of the multiple baseline while adding the causal warrant of random assignment at the cluster level.	The ABAB design is a single-subject experimental methodology that establishes causal control by repeatedly introducing and removing an intervention. A baseline phase (A) is followed by an intervention phase (B), then a return to baseline (A), and a second intervention phase (B), allowing the researcher to demonstrate that observed behavior changes are produced by the intervention rather than by coincidental factors.
