Please read the following chapters/sections in your text: Research Methods Michael Passer. Chapter 6: “Case Studies and Observational Research” Case Studies Chapter 7: “Survey Research” Basic Characteristics of Surveys Constructing the Questionnaire Researchers and clinical professionals use single case research designs when they want to learn more about a disorder, problem, or phenomenon affecting one person. Single case designs can be ideal for studying one person in depth, such as when creating a specific intervention for a specific patient, or when studying a rare phenomenon. For example, a clinician might want to conduct in-depth, individualized research on a patient's response to intervention after a stroke. As another example, it could be rare for a patient to present with late-stage untreated syphilis. If this patient consents to be part of a single case research study, information about late-stage untreated syphilis could be gained without violating ethical standards or placing someone at risk by denying treatment. Think of a topic or scenario you would want to research using a case study, and please respond to the following: Discuss a hypothetical person that you would focus your study on. Why did you choose this person? State your research question and hypothesis for a case study focused on one person. Explain briefly what data you might collect to study your research question with the identified participant. What are strengths to using a single case study for this study? Discuss the possible limitations to your study.
