Abstract
The use of single-case methodology has been widely promoted in many disciplines in recent years. Although the use of such a methodology by individual practitioners is feasible and desirable, little attention has been paid to the aggregation of such data for evaluating agencies. This article reports a study using single-case clinical data from an agency, and presents several methods for examining such information. The authors explore both the benefits of such analyses and the pitfalls associated with the proposed methods.Keywords
