“…In the context of the current results, data collected from 30% of sessions may be sufficient for treatment decision making. Yet, in many cases, it may be helpful to collect additional data to reflect intervention implementation accurately (Gresham, Gansle, Noell, & Cohen, 1993). As such, it is important to consider the barriers preventing BCBAs from collecting treatment fidelity data during more than approximately 30% of sessions.…”

“…Behavioral interventions impact youth with ASD by modifying the environment, specifically the behavior of the stakeholders who interact with the child. When stakeholders implement behavioral interventions with adequate treatment fidelity , child behavior change often occurs more efficiently and effectively (Gresham, Gansle, Noell, Cohen, & Rosenblum, 1993). Therefore, attention to an interventionists’ treatment fidelity is critical when providing behavioral support to children with ASD (Wheeler, Baggett, Fox, & Blevins, 2006).…”

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities may benefit from home-based interventions to promote positive, prosocial behavior. Frequently, a practitioner (e.g., behavior analyst) provides training and support to parents to achieve behavior change. When this occurs, progress-monitoring data pertaining to both treatment fidelity and child outcomes are important to deciding if supports delivered are effective. Yet, little is known about treatment fidelity assessment in this setting. In the current study, behavior analysts working across the United States in homes ( n = 314) were surveyed. Results indicate that nearly all participants reported having received some or extensive training on the importance of treatment fidelity. Most respondents also indicated that treatment fidelity is assessed in at least 30% of sessions in homes when working with parents, primarily by means of direct observation versus indirect methods. Implications for future consultation research and the practice are provided.

Study design of 'FRIENDS for Life': process and effect evaluation of an indicated school-based prevention programme for childhood anxiety and depression

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundAnxiety disorders and depression are highly prevalent in children and affect their current and future functioning. 'FRIENDS for Life' is a cognitive-behavioural programme teaching children skills to cope more effectively with feelings of anxiety and depression. Although 'FRIENDS for Life' is increasingly being implemented at Dutch schools, its effectiveness as a preventive intervention in Dutch schools has never been investigated. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 'FRIENDS for Life' as an indicated school-based prevention programme for children with early or mild signs of anxiety or depression.Methods/DesignThis study is a controlled trial with one pre-intervention and three post-intervention measurements (directly after, and 6 and 12 months after the end of the programme). The study sample consists of children aged 10-12 years (grades 6, 7 and 8 of Dutch primary schools), who show symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder. Data are collected through self-report, teacher report and peer nomination. A process evaluation is conducted to investigate programme integrity (whether the programme has been executed according to protocol) and to evaluate children's and parents' opinions about 'FRIENDS for Life' using online focus groups and interviews.DiscussionThe present study will provide insight into the effectiveness of 'FRIENDS for Life' as an indicated school-based prevention programme for children with early or mild signs of anxiety or depression.Trial registrationNetherlands Trial Register (NTR): NTR2397

“…Likewise concerning programme differentiation, if a comparison or control group is included as part of the evaluation, it is important to ensure that there is no contamination and that a similar intervention is not actually being conducted. As Gresham, Cohen, Rosenblum, Gansle and Noell (1993) Mental health promotion…”
