Jan 21, 2021 · As displayed in Figure 1, educators can analyze student outcome data and treatment fidelity together to interpret findings of intervention research. There are four possible combinations of student-outcome and treatment-fidelity data. The first is when student outcomes improve meaningfully and treatment fidelity data are adequate.

Improved measures may also result in greater sensitivity to differences in treatment fidelity and, consequently, variation in treatment fidelity scores. Moreover, future intervention studies that incorporate improved treatment fidelity measures may be more apt to accurately measure the relation between treatment fidelity and student outcomes.

ties of fidelity measures and use these measures to examine the relation between treatment fidelity and student outcomes. O’Donnell (2008) describe how fidelity measures were con-structed and both assess and report the reliability and validity of the treatment fidelity data collected (Mowbray et al. 2003;O’Donnell 2008).

University of Virginia 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. ...
Perhaps the greatest relevance of treatment fidelity for re-search is related to the validity, or accuracy, of study find-ings. Treatment fidelity data are essential to drawing valid conclusions about the effects of an intervention on depen-dent variables (e.g., student outcomes; see Figure 1). For in-stance, without treatment fidelity data, if stu...
Adequate Inadequate The intervention was effective for study participants. The intervention was ineffective for study participants. Participants’ outcomes improved; it cannot be concluded, however, that intervention was the cause of the improvement. Participants’ outcomes did not improve; no conclusions, however, can be made about intervention effe...
Ms. Romero explained to Mr. Cooper that treatment fidelity means the degree to which an intervention is implemented as planned. She suggested she assess Mr. Cooper’s adherence for repeated reading. Ms. Romero developed a checklist of the critical elements for repeated reading from articles on the intervention. She then observed Mr. Cooper teaching ...

Feb 1, 2021 · 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.
Despite recommendations for treatment fidelity reporting from funding agencies and researchers, past syntheses have found treatment fidelity is frequently unreported (e.g., Swanson, The Journal of Special Education, 47, 3-13, 2011) in educational interventions and fidelity data are seldom used to analyze its relation to student outcomes (O'Donnell, Review of Educational Research, 78(1), 33-84 ...

Nov 23, 2014 · We did not include the treatment fidelity area of “treatment enactment” as suggested in the recommendations for best practices for treatment fidelity (Bellg et al., 2004; Borrelli, 2011). Treatment enactment is a method of assessing whether the skills a participant acquires from an intervention are appropriately implemented, so as to assure intended study outcomes ( Borrelli, 2011 ).
