  "term": "One-shot Case Study",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "The one-shot case study involves the measurement of an identified \"outcome\" after a treatment or program has been implemented. However, there are no measures taken or available for comparison (i.e., status before the program, or outcome of a comparison or control group). Without a comparison measure, there is no means for inferring that the \"outcome\" was actually influenced by the treatment or program.",
