Why would the flu not be a good malady for studying in a N of 1 Randomized Clinical Trial methodology? Why would a group design be better?

What will be an ideal response?


The flu doesn't meet an important criterion associated with successful use of the N of 1 RCT. The flue is neither stable nor chronic; it can't be evaluated over time because it doesn't last long enough. A group design would be better because a researcher can evaluate different treatments over the relatively short course of the flu, without worrying that the symptoms would disappear before different treatments could be evaluated.
