Our sixth lecture of the 2015-16 season will be a pre-recorded webinar session with Georganna Sedlar, Ph.D., Suzanne Kerns, Ph.D., and Maria Monroe-DeVita, Ph.D!
“Keeping the Faith while Keeping it Real: Exploring more feasible and efficient ways of measuring treatment fidelity”
Clinical research has shown that evidence based practices work when there is documented fidelity. However, measuring fidelity outside of clinical research studies presents many challenges. This presentation will explore simpler and efficient approaches to measuring fidelity to evidence based practices in the “real world”.
