determining that there has been change, it suggest the possibility that the intervention produced change, but it is not able to control for many of the threats to validity” (p. 361).The change in this research design are represented through the comparison of both the baseline and post intervention information. Phase A represents the baseline and phase B represents the results after the intervention of the research design. Procedures The baseline (phase A) represented the allotted time that the participant was given to record the number of cigarette packs smoked in a day for three consecutive days. During this time Johnny was directed to write down how many packs of cigarettes he smoked at the end of each day. The intervention consisted of the researcher sitting down with the participant and discussing the information relevant to his life that was listed in the American Cancer Society and answering questions about concerns and needs. The researcher Guide to Quitting Smoking left the educational materials with Johnny so that he could refer to them as needed and also stayed on call so that he could call with any questions or needs. After the materials were disbursed the client had to record the amount of cigarette packs smoked within a weeks’ time (seven consecutive days). The results of the baseline and post intervention are determined in the graph below (Figure 1). The graph shows the results of the baseline as well as the results post intervention. Graphical Presentation Figure 1 Number of cigarette packs smoked during baseline and directly after the intervention. Results
