Evidence-based interventions in education, community, and health care settings often fail to live up to their potential because they are not implemented consistently or competently. This timely book explores treatment integrity - the extent to which a promising intervention is implemented as designed and achieves successful outcomes.
Chapters walk the reader first through conceptual and then through applied aspects of treatment integrity, covering:
¿ The components and characteristics of high-quality implementation
¿ The description and measurement of intervention components
¿ Specific approaches that promote effective delivery of services and
¿ Examples of programs that embody principles of treatment integrity
A one-stop source of information and ideas for researchers and those on the front lines, this book is also an ideal text for graduate trainees in health services and education.
