Longitudinal Single Case Study/Evidence
Method evidence record

Longitudinal Single Case Study

A longitudinal single case study is a qualitative research design that follows one bounded unit — a person, organization, program, or community — through multiple points in time. Unlike a cross-sectional snapshot, it captures how phenomena develop, shift, or respond to events across months or years, combining the contextual richness of case study methodology with the temporal depth needed to understand process and change.
