Single-blind refers to a research design in which participants do not know whether they are receiving the treatment or a placebo, but the researchers do. This design helps reduce bias from participants' expectations, allowing for more objective results. It is commonly used in factorial designs and multi-arm trials to ensure that the effects of the treatment can be observed without interference from participants' awareness of their assigned groups.
