- Treatment fidelity refers to the extent to which an intervention is implemented as planned. If researchers do not assess and report treatment fidelity, or if treatment fidelity is shown to be low, findings from intervention studies are difficult to interpret, because the intervention may not have been implemented as planned.

To improve integration of fidelity criteria into intervention research, this review paper focuses on three aims: 1) to identify, define, and operationalize the key ingredients and components of intervention fidelity; 2) to identify consistency and uniformity in terms of core characteristics of fidelity; and, 3) to provide a comprehensive ...

A recent paper that detailed the development and testing of a measure of Fidelity of Implementation (FOI) in four settings concluded that “FOI is an important but complex phenomenon that can be difficult to measure.” Indeed, Century and colleagues note that “evaluators, have yet to develop a shared conceptual understanding of what FOI is and how t...
Our results suggest three guidelines for improving methodological rigour in fidelity assessment. Guideline M1: Use multiple methods of fidelity assessment and build redundancy into assessment of aspects of fidelity that are under participants’ control (receipt and enactment). Few studies use multiple methods for measuring each aspect of fidelity (...
It is evident from the guidelines suggested above that rigorous assessment of intervention fidelity can quickly become an additional, resource intensive ‘study within a study’. In their systematic review of actual measures used to monitor fidelity delivery, receipt, and enactment in complex interventions, Walton and colleagues identified the high ...

Nov 6, 2012 · Fidelity is paramount in translating research to practice. Fidelity (sometimes called integrity; or delivery, treatment, intervention, or implementation fidelity) is defined as the degree to which an intervention or procedure is delivered as intended.
Aug 16, 2017 · This article describes a five-step process to define the scope, identify components, develop tools, monitor fidelity, and analyze outcomes to develop a comprehensive fidelity measurement system for an intervention.
Jul 25, 2023 · Measures of fidelity are critical because they inform our interpretation of how procedures change behavior, provide a foundation for the development of more streamlined interventions, and suggest which treatment components may be most useful in a particular context.
