Resumo	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 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.
