Evaluating Intervention Fidelity and Adaptation Within Context: A Mixed-Methods Study of Implementation Practice Within Public Early Intervention Systems
The current study highlights the critical role of context in shaping providers' Project ImPACT coaching fidelity. Fidelity outcomes in this study were consistent with other EI implementation trials and raise questions about fidelity benchmarks and normative delivery within community settings. Findings also highlight the need for holistic fidelity tools and training models that support the delivery of core intervention functions in relationship to child-, family-, and system-level factors.
