Wong, Vivian C.; Steiner, Peter M.; Anglin, Kylie L. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Given the widespread use of non-experimental (NE) methods for assessing program impacts, there is a strong need to know whether NE approaches yield causally valid results in field settings. In within-study comparison (WSC) designs, the researcher compares treatment effects from an NE with those obtained from a randomized experiment that shares the…

Hallberg, Kelly; Williams, Ryan; Swanlund, Andrew – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
More aggregate data on school performance is available than ever before, opening up new possibilities for applied researchers interested in assessing the effectiveness of school-level interventions quickly and at a relatively low cost by implementing comparative interrupted times series (CITS) designs. We examine the extent to which effect…

Zimmerman, Kathleen N.; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Severini, Katherine E.; Pustejovsky, James E.; Barton, Erin E.; Lloyd, Blair P. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Tools for evaluating the quality and rigor of single case research designs (SCD) are often used when conducting SCD syntheses. Preferred components include evaluations of design features related to the internal validity of SCD to obtain quality and/or rigor ratings. Three tools for evaluating the quality and rigor of SCD (Council for Exceptional…

Zimmerman, Kathleen N.; Pustejovsky, James E.; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Barton, Erin E.; Severini, Katherine E.; Lloyd, Blair P. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Varying methods for evaluating the outcomes of single case research designs (SCD) are currently used in reviews and meta-analyses of interventions. Quantitative effect size measures are often presented alongside visual analysis conclusions. Six measures across two classes--overlap measures (percentage non-overlapping data, improvement rate…

Moulton, Shawn R.; Peck, Laura R.; Greeney, Adam – American Journal of Evaluation, 2018
In experimental evaluations of health and social programs, the role of dosage is rarely explored because researchers cannot usually randomize individuals to experience varying dosage levels. Instead, such evaluations reveal the average effects of exposure to an intervention, although program exposure may vary widely. This article compares three…
