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.
This book gives students, trainees, and professionals a one-of-a-kind resource that captures the most vital information on treatment integrity available in the contemporary literature. The editors clearly achieved their intended goals of accelerating treatment integrity practice and research by compiling a substantive knowledge base, describing evidence-based techniques and aggregating the most persuasive empirical findings. With “hands on” appeal and heuristic value, the book will educate any interested reader about the merits of treatment integrity for developing exemplary practice standards and producing the best results with the people we serve. * New England Psychologist *
