What is a literature review?
When researchers maintain the privacy of their subjects, it is called this
What is confidentiality?
This is the variable being manipulated by the researcher and causes the other to change. Examples include interventions, programs, practices (e.g., mindfulness, SEL, trauma-informed, CBITS, play therapy)

What is single-subject design research?
Rather than being separated from each other, sources in literature reviews are integrated into these based on the progression of the topical overview
