Developing an implementation fidelity measure for a family healthy weight program
This study provides a systematic approach to assessing implementation fidelity of a FHWP in micropolitan and surrounding rural areas. Our approach to hiring and training local community members as direct observers enhanced the feasibility of measuring implementation fidelity across multiple geographically dispersed settings and established a model for ongoing assessments.
