In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Intervention Science
  • Program Implementation

Background:

  • Fidelity of implementation is crucial for evidence-based interventions.
  • Limited research exists on how implementers understand and operationalize fidelity.
  • Varied perspectives exist on the necessity and desirability of strict fidelity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore implementers' definitions and operationalization of fidelity.
  • To understand the adaptations made during curriculum implementation.
  • To identify needs for supporting fidelity in practice.

Main Methods:

  • Key informant interviews were conducted with 20 individuals.
  • Participants implemented an evidence-based teen dating violence prevention curriculum.
  • Interviews focused on definitions of fidelity and curriculum adaptations.

Main Results:

  • Implementers' definitions of fidelity varied, with some focusing on adherence and others on core messages.
  • All implementers reported variations from the published curriculum, often inconsistent with their own fidelity definitions.
  • Pedagogical modifications and material changes were sometimes included in fidelity definitions.

Conclusions:

  • Implementers require support in defining and applying fidelity consistently.
  • Curriculum developers should clarify program theory, fidelity expectations, and allowable adaptations.
  • Codifying lessons learned can aid future implementation efforts.
