Meta-analysis of SCEDs: How can alternating treatments and changing criterion designs be included?

Authors: Manolov, Onghena & Van den Noorgate (2021)

The authors of the article suggest that multi-level models can be used to include data from alternating treatments and changing criterion designs in meta-analyses of single-case experimental designs. They argue that these designs are underrepresented in current meta-analyses and that their exclusion can lead to a biased representation of the evidence. The article highlights the need for careful consideration of sample size and missing data when using multi-level models for meta-analysis of single-case designs. The authors argue that multi-level models can be a useful tool for including data from a wider range of single-case designs in meta-analyses, providing a more comprehensive and accurate representation of the evidence.
