Literature Review

Describe what is already known about the research question or problem being addressed. Include at least two peer-reviewed research articles, outlining the research design, sample, sample size, intervention, results, etc.

Methodology

Explain what techniques you plan to use to address the problem of interest and, where possible, justify why your approach may be superior. Remember to write your paper using future tense.

Typically, the Methodology section includes: (1) research design, (2) sample technique, (3) sample size, (4) criteria for inclusion in the study, (5) recruitment process, (6) data collection, (7) data analysis, and (8) validity and reliability. Because your focus here is single-subject research, tailor your methodology to fit. In other words, adjust the parameters for your single client.

Single-Subject Design Study

Setting and Intervention

First, describe the setting where the single-subject study will occur (e.g., the agency, community, etc.). If using an A-B-follow-up design, state clearly when and how you will collect the information and specifically what you are measuring. Will you include a baseline, before the intervention? In the intervention stage (B), specify what the intervention will be and how long it will last before the follow-up stage for measuring outcomes or results. Discuss whether the intervention will cease (or not) so that you can measure the outcomes or results. Specify the instruments to be used and the questions to be asked.
