Document Summary
In genetics research, the study of first-degree relatives reared in different families and environments.

Approach to research employing subjects who are similar to clinical clients, allowing replication of a clinical problem under controlled conditions. (p. 101) association studies. Research strategies for comparing genetic markers in groups of people with and without a particular disorder. (p. 111) baseline. Measured rate of a behaviour before introduction of an intervention that allows comparison and assessment of the effects of the intervention. (p. 108) case study method. Research procedure in which a single person or small group is studied in detail. The method does not allow conclusions about cause-and- effect relationships, and findings can be generalized only with great caution. (p. 102) clinical significance. Degree to which research findings have useful and meaningful applications to real problems. (p. 101) cohort.
