The Field Guide describes a sequential five-step process displayed in Fig. 1. The steps are: 1. 1. defining the purpose and scope of the fidelity assessment used for evaluation of the intervention; 2. 2. identifying the essential components of the fidelity monitoring system; 3. 3. developing the fidelity tool; 4. 4. monitoring fidelity during the s...
Inter-rater Reliability
The same two raters were used consistently across sessions. This is a fully crossed design (Shrout & Fleiss, 1979) and Cohen’s kappa was used to calculate kappa. A kappa score was calculated for each session because each session had a different content measure. The kappa values ranged from 0.44 to 0.97 with all but one session scoring over 0.65—an indication that inter rater reliability was in the good or substantial range (Altman, 1991; Landis & Koch, 1977). For the process scores a two-way...
Fidelity Score in Analyses
This project has data on content fidelity, process fidelity and dose, all of which can be included as moderators in the analyses. The average content delivered across sessions was 77.2% and the average process score was 7.56 out of a possible score of 10. This means that, on average, about 77% of the content was delivered and that the practitioners followed the PTP process model about 75% of the time.
Dose in Analyses
Dose was used as a continuous independent variable to understand the relationship between the number of sessions completed and the parent and child outcomes.
Understanding and replicating the circumstances in which an intervention resulted in successful outcomes for clients or patients is critical to replicating the positive outcomes and delivering effective services to clients (Miller & Rollnick, 2014). More transparent and consistent systems of assessing and monitoring fidelity, that are developed usi...
For administrators and practitioners, information about the assessment of fidelity should be scrutinized as carefully as the results of the intervention. To achieve the positive results for clients in usual care that were demonstrated in a research study, monitoring and maintaining fidelity must be built into the estimated cost of delivering the in...
The Field Guide system has a few limitations, as do the measures that were developed for the study. The PTP materials include detailed information about the intended process and content of the intervention in the training and manuals. This provided a good starting point and direction from which to develop the intervention measurement tool. However,...

Although researchers across disciplines define and measure treatment fidelity differently, continuing efforts to develop the concept of treatment fidelity provide educational researchers with an array of methodological considerations to help unpack issues related to treatment implementation.
concept of fidelity and provides details regarding measures to be taken for evaluating fidelity. This interdisciplinary framework can be used by those in all disciplines seeking to assess fidelity—and by those involved in interdisci-plinary projects, as well.

What is treatment fidelity?
Fidelity to the practice is quality or competence and participant responsiveness or adaptations. While fidelity to process and fidelity to program are essential factors to consider in implementation, it is also important to consider best practices when measuring fidelity (Hill & Erickson, 2019).
