A multiple baseline design is often used when it is impossible or unethical to effect a reversal of treatment. This means that the design is used when it is not feasible or ethical to withdraw a treatment that has already been given to the participants, such as in cases where the treatment is beneficial or necessary for the participant's well-being. In a multiple baseline design, the treatment is gradually introduced to different subjects or different settings, and the effects are observed over time. This allows the researcher to determine if the treatment is effective and to rule out alternative explanations for any observed changes in behavior.
