Kokkuvõte	The Adaptive ABAB Design is a single-subject experimental methodology that extends the classic ABAB reversal design by incorporating data-driven, prospective decision rules to determine when to transition between baseline (A) and intervention (B) phases. Rather than fixing phase lengths in advance, the researcher uses pre-specified criteria — such as stability thresholds, slope targets, or effect-size benchmarks — to guide each phase change, improving both experimental control and clinical responsiveness.	Interrupted Time Series analysis is a quasi-experimental design that estimates the effect of a single, well-dated intervention by comparing the trajectory of an outcome before and after it occurs. Formalised as segmented regression by Wagner and colleagues (2002) and popularised as a public-health evaluation tutorial by Bernal, Cummins and Gasparrini (2017), it separates the intervention's impact into a change in level and a change in slope.	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.
