    This study introduces meta-analysis for single-subject, time-series designs, bridging a gap between management needs and clinical practice. It offers valuable data for organizational planning and improving therapeutic interventions.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Science
    • Research Methodology
    • Evidence-Based Practice

    Background:

    • Traditional group experimental designs often lack applicability for individual therapy and service delivery.
    • Single-subject designs, while useful for individual cases, have historically presented challenges for broader organizational or institutional planning.
    • A need exists to reconcile the data requirements for both clinical practice and management decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate how meta-analysis can aggregate data from single-subject, time-series designs.
    • To provide managers with usable information for organizational planning and institutional change.
    • To enhance the quality of scientific investigations through improved data analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of meta-analysis techniques to time-series data derived from single-subject research.

  • Aggregation of data across multiple single-subject, time-series studies.
  • Systematic review and statistical synthesis of experimental findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Meta-analysis of single-subject, time-series data yields valuable insights for management and policy.
    • This approach provides a bridge between the needs of practitioners and administrators.
    • The methodology supports the improvement of scientific rigor in research.

    Conclusions:

    • Meta-analysis of single-subject, time-series designs offers a solution to the limitations of traditional research designs.
    • This integration enhances evidence-based practice by informing both individual interventions and organizational strategies.
    • The findings advocate for the broader adoption of meta-analytic techniques in behavioral and social sciences.
