Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 9E
Explain why an ABAB reversal design is inappropriate for a treatment that has a permanent or long-lasting effect.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The reason behind the inappropriateness of ABAB design for a treatment that has permanent or long-lasting effects.
Explanation of Solution
If the treatment has long-lasting effects on a dependent variable then it is not possible that a difference can be viewed after removal of treatment or in other words, the system will not be affected by the treatment, once the treatment is introduced. So, the removal or to introduce the treatment to a system is meaningless in terms of time and resources as it is totally wasted according to ABAB design. In that case, it is not suitable design because of waste of time and resources as the effect of treatment cannot be visualized after removal of treatment.

However, in the studies reporting on the effects of this surgery on Type II diabetes, 1417 of 1846 diabetic patients recovered completely from diabetes after surgery. These patients no longer need medication like insulin (which is injected into the skin) or pills to help manage blood sugar.
