What is a case study?

Case studies "report analyses or observations obtained while working closely with an individual, group community, or organization. Case studies illustrate a problem in depth; indicate a means for solving a problem; and/or shed light on needed research, clinical applications, or theoretical matters" (APA, 2020).
