Zusammenfassung	The double-blind multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design in which an intervention is introduced sequentially across two or more independent baselines — behaviors, individuals, or settings — while outcome assessors (and ideally participants) remain unaware of which baseline is currently in the intervention phase. The double-blind procedural overlay reduces measurement bias and demand characteristics, strengthening causal inference beyond what a standard multiple baseline design offers.	The multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates functional control by introducing an intervention at staggered time points across two or more baselines — typically across different behaviors, individuals, or settings. Because no withdrawal of treatment is required, it is especially suitable when the target behavior is irreversible or when removing an effective intervention would be unethical.
