Pilot ABAB Design/Evidence
Method evidence record

Pilot ABAB Design

A Pilot ABAB design is a small-scale feasibility trial of the ABAB reversal design, conducted with one or a few participants to test whether an intervention produces reliable behavior change under alternating baseline and treatment conditions before committing resources to a larger study. It combines the internal-validity logic of the ABAB reversal with the limited scope and preliminary aims of a pilot investigation.
