Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6   EBP 0807 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Case Studies and Case Series

Captions available

The idea

A case study reports one instance in detail; a case series reports several. Neither has a comparison group.

In practice

A detailed report of one unusual presentation and how it was managed.

Where people slip

Without a comparison group there is nothing to attribute an outcome to. These designs describe; they do not establish.
