Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6   EBP 0780 short lesson, about 20 seconds

One-Group Designs

Captions available

The idea

Some designs evaluate one group's outcomes either before and after an intervention, or only after it.

In practice

A single unit measured before a change and again afterwards.

Where people slip

These offer no more confidence about cause and effect than nonexperimental studies, because of the bias inherent in having nothing to compare against.
