Functional Analysis of TB Treatment: ABAB Design Results and Discussion

Description of Treatment/Intervention

Functional analysis of TB - analysis of the maintaining conditions and how they relate to choice of particular treatment.  (This could be placed here or in your ‘introduction’ section)

Describe of the treatment/intervention used in your study, being sure to employ behavioural terminology, and clearly explaining the treatment’s underlying behaviour principles.

Describe your ABAB research design and clearly articulate your knowledge of the rationale for that particular kind of design. (this is very important to clarify in this project)

Explain how data was collected, along with what was controlled for - any controls that were put in place to strengthen the design of your study.  Describe precisely the how, what, when (& where) of measurement/data collection.

Results

Present a detailed description of your results (relevant times and dates to be clearly evident).

Include Graph(s) and/or charts to facilitate description of results (APA 7 formating)

Specific results of the ABAB-designed treatment (no speculations, just results!)

Discussion

Discussion of and critical appraisal of your results, including an analysis of the particular method used to obtain results; an explanation of the possible reasons for the specific results obtained (e.g., degree of success or failure).  

Note that you must show that you clearly understand any difference between success of the treatment as evidenced by the ABAB design and whether or not you felt that the treatment was personally successful – the latter having more to do with your personal behaviour change goal(s).

Your experience of conducting your study, including any obstacles or setbacks.

Potential for transfer to other behaviours and future modifications.
