Abstract

The new frontier for prevention research involves building a scientific knowledge base on how to disseminate and implement effective prevention programs with fidelity. Toward this end, a brief overview of findings from the Blueprints for Violence Prevention-Replication Initiative is presented, identifying factors that enhance or impede a successful implementation of these programs. Findings are organized around five implementation tasks: site selection, training, technical assistance, fidelity, and sustainability. Overall, careful attention to each of these tasks, together with an independent monitoring of fidelity, produced a successful implementation with high fidelity and sustainability. A discussion of how these findings inform the present local adaptation-fidelity debate follows.

  • The fidelity with which an intervention is implemented affects how well it succeeds.

    “It has been demonstrated that the fidelity with which an intervention is implemented affects how well it succeeds [1-5].”

  • Implementation fidelity acts as a potential moderator of the relationship between interventions and their intended outcomes.

  • The potential role of facilitation strategies was suggested by research aiming to evaluate the implementation fidelity of specific interventions that put in place strategies to optimise the level of fidelity achieved.

  • Most implementation fidelity research focuses solely on a fidelity score determined almost exclusively by adherence.

    “With the exception of a few studies that do measure quality of delivery or participant responsiveness [8,20,38], most implementation fidelity research focuses solely on a fidelity score determined almost exclusively by adherence [3,6-8,21,22,27-29,38,39].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
