Sammanfattning	The single-blind pretest-posttest experimental design combines two protective strategies: measuring outcomes both before and after treatment to quantify change, and keeping participants unaware of which condition they are in. This pairing controls for preexisting group differences and expectancy-driven response bias, making it a practical middle ground between fully open-label and double-blind trials in behavioral and health research.	The Solomon Four-Group Design extends the classic pretest-posttest control-group design by adding two groups that receive no pretest, enabling researchers to detect whether the pretest itself alters participants' responses to the treatment. Introduced by Richard L. Solomon in 1949, it remains the gold standard for isolating the independent effect of a pretest and for obtaining unbiased estimates of treatment efficacy.
