Kazbour and Bailey (2010) conducted a study to evaluate an intervention to increase the use of designated drivers in a bar. First, the researchers tracked the number of patrons serving as or being with a designated driver. The researchers then implemented a treatment to increase the use of designated drivers, and finally measured how many bar patrons used a designated driver after the intervention was removed. This is an example of a _____.

A) developmental research
B) cross-sectional study
C) reversal design
D) one-shot case study

Reversal Design

An experimental design that involves repeatedly applying and removing a treatment to observe if doing so results in corresponding changes in the dependent variable.

Final Answer :
C
