Fidelity of intervention delivery in psychosocial and behavioral programs (FIPP): A modified Delphi study and final guideline
This study advances reporting on fidelity of delivery in psychosocial and behavioral interventions by refining the FIPP guideline through a rigorous, consensus-driven process. The FIPP provides a comprehensive structure to improve the consistency and transparency of fidelity of delivery assessment. By promoting standardized reporting, the FIPP enhances the quality of implementation science, ultimately supporting more effective interventions and better participant outcomes. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to adopt the FIPP to strengthen intervention fidelity and drive meaningful progress in the field.
