Document Summary
A literature search will help understand whether one form of therapy is better than the other based on empirical data. You can have more than one factor involved in a single study. Reviewing literature if we do not yet know much about the topic, its helpful to find research article that includes a meta-analysis. Meta-analysis: a quantitative statistical analysis that compares and combines the results of individual but similar studies (multiple studies on the same research question_ to summarize what they say collectively on that topic. A change in measurement from phase a to phase b may suggest causal relation. A-b-a-b design: a single-subject design in which researchers establish a baseline, introduce the intervention, remove the intervention and then reintroduce the intervention, measuring the dependent variable each time: to get more causality proof. Strengths of single subject design: can monitor change within individual.
