Highlights
Identify the research as a single-case experimental design in the title Summarize the research question, population, design, methods including intervention/s and target behavior/s and any other outcome/s, results, and conclusionsScientific background
We developed the Single-Case Reporting guideline In BEhavioural interventions (SCRIBE) 2016 to assist investigators in the behavioral sciences to report single-case experimental design (SCED) with transparency, accuracy, clarity and completeness
Authors reporting on one specific type of single-case methodology, the medical N-of-1 trial with multiple cross-overs, will find it helpful to consult the CENT 2015 Statement (Shamseer et al, 2015; Vohra et al, 2015), which was developed for that particular methodology
Summary
The first phase to develop the SCRIBE 2016 consisted of two rounds of an online Delphi survey completed by SCED authors and methodology experts, resulting in 44 items to be discussed at a consensus conference. Held in Sydney, Australia, in December 2011, participants reworked the items, resulting in a final set of 26 items for the reporting guideline, which are described in this Explanation and Elaboration article. The SCRIBE 2016 Statement (Tate et al, 2016) provides a detailed description of the methodology of this process
