Kokkuvõte	A standardized effect size for single-case research expresses the difference between treatment and baseline phases in standard-deviation units so that it can be placed on the same scale as the familiar between-groups Cohen's d and combined across studies in a meta-analysis. The design-comparable estimator of Hedges, Pustejovsky, and Shadish (2012) explicitly models within-case and between-case variation and applies a small-sample correction, addressing the long-standing problem that nonoverlap indices and naive single-case d statistics are not comparable to the effect sizes used in group-design research.	A single-system design is a time-series approach to evaluating practice in which a single client system — an individual, family, group, or organization — is measured repeatedly on a clearly defined target before and during (and sometimes after) an intervention. By tracking the same system over time rather than comparing a treatment group to a control group, it lets a practitioner judge whether their own intervention is associated with change in the people they actually serve. It is the methodological backbone of the 'accountable professional' tradition codified by Bloom, Fischer, and Orme.
