title: Single case experimental design: controlling the study.
abstract: Single case reports are popular in nursing, as well as, for example, in education, psychology and medicine, and can give a clear picture of aspects of individual characteristics in a way that neither large scale controlled trials nor even large scale qualitative studies can hope to do. In both these latter cases, considerable individual detail is lost, owing to the need to present what is essentially a precis of these characteristics in the final published report.
