Download or read book Treatment Integrity in Treatment Outcome Research written by Perepletchikova and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treatment integrity refers to the degree to which an intervention is implemented as intended. This book examines the adequacy of treatment integrity procedures in randomized controlled trials of psychosocial interventions and evaluates the associated factors. Results indicate that investigations that systematically implement treatment integrity procedures are virtually lacking in the literature. Skill-building treatments (e.g., cognitive-behavioral) as compared to non skill-building interventions (e.g., psychodynamic) were implemented with higher attention to integrity. Treatment integrity was addressed to a greater degree when interventions were evaluated using a treatment manual. Implications of the obtained results for psychotherapy research and practice, recommendations for improving how integrity is addressed, as well as guidelines on treatment integrity procedures are discussed. Further, this book includes a measure for assessing the adequacy of treatment integrity procedures and a rater manual.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treatment integrity refers to the degree to which an intervention is implemented as intended. This study evaluates the adequacy of treatment integrity procedures implemented in psychotherapy research (including establishing, assessing, evaluating and reporting integrity, treatment adherence and therapist competence), and the associated factors. Randomized controlled trials published in the five most influential psychological and psychiatric journals were reviewed and coded for treatment integrity implementation. Results indicate that investigations that systematically implement treatment integrity procedures are virtually lacking in the literature. Treatment integrity was adequately addressed for only 3% of the evaluated treatments. Two predictors of integrity implementation were journal of publication and treatment approach. Treatment integrity was addressed to a greater degree in studies published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology and the Archives of General Psychiatry as compared to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, the American Journal of Psychiatry and the British Journal of Psychiatry. Skill-building treatments (e.g., cognitive-behavioral) as compared to non skill-building interventions (e.g., psychodynamic, non-directive counseling) were implemented with higher attention to integrity procedures. The use of a treatment manual statistically accounted for the relationship between treatment integrity and treatment approach. Treatment integrity was addressed to a greater degree when interventions were tested using a treatment manual, while a treatment manual was more likely to be employed with skill-building approaches, as compared to non skill-building interventions. Recommendations for future research include examination of possible predictors and barriers to the treatment integrity implementation, and evaluation of whether inadequate attention to integrity is related to the uniform efficacy of psychotherapies. Possible implications of the obtained results for psychotherapy research and practice, as well as recommendations for improving how integrity is addressed, are discussed.

Download or read book Measuring Treatment Integrity written by Merrill L. Meehan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of treatment fidelity has been a concern in the field of evaluation research. Nearly three decades ago, Cook and Campbell (1975) outlined four types of validity that may influence treatment outcomes. Defining these validity measures has since prompted researchers to closely examine potential threats within the context of program evaluation. Related to Cook and Campbell's concept of construct validity, Sechrest and associates (1979) identified two complications that could further impact evaluation research. These complications involve the strength and integrity of treatment, and their associated implications on construct validity. The purpose of this study was to assess the delivery, receipt, and adherence of the CRI treatment implemented in the four Kanawha County schools. In creating a model for assessing treatment implementation, Lichstein, Riedel, and Grieve (1994) posit that there are three components in their model. Delivery assessment inspects how the treatment was delivered and the factors that enhanced or hindered delivery of the treatment. Receipt assessment examines whether the intended audience was able to understand the information that was provided to them. Adherence assessment examines whether the clients? receipt of the treatment will effect them; enactment looks at whether clients adhere to the directives and change behaviors. This study was designed to provide a viable test of the evaluation of an educational intervention employing a set of multiple components and multiple methods. These various components and methods for assessing the integrity of the intervention were suggested by Lichstein, Riedel, and Grove.

Download or read book A Meta analysis Investigating the Correlation Between Treatment Integrity and Youth Client Outcomes written by Ruben Gabriel Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The relation between treatment integrity and youth client outcomes in psychosocial treatment research has implications for therapist training, study design, and study interpretation. Despite work done in this area, this relation remains unclear. The aim of the current study was to meta-analyze and describe characteristics of investigations of integrity and outcome in youth. Method and Analytic Plan: A total of N = 30 studies were identified. Conceptual and methodological factors were coded. Pearson's r represented the magnitude of the integrity-outcome correlation. Robust variance estimation was used to account for dependency of within-study effect sizes. Two models were run with identical methods, Model 1 did not impute/estimate effect sizes and Model 2 imputed/estimated missing effect sizes. Each model was built iteratively, including an unconditional model and moderator model. Tests of heterogeneity, publication bias, and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results: The mean integrity-outcome effect size in Model 1 and Model 2 were negative and statistically significant (r = -.11, p
Download or read book Using Digital Performance Feedback to Increase Treatment Integrity written by Heather Marie Whipple and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In intervention research, assessing treatment integrity is important to establish functional control of the independent variable and make accurate decisions regarding treatment effectiveness. This study examined the effects of digital performance feedback (DPF) as a follow-up strategy for teachers to increase integrity. A multiple baseline design was utilized to determine the effectiveness of this strategy. Results from this study expanded previous literature on ways to promote treatment integrity and help move toward a science of intervention implementation. The primary dependent variable measured was treatment integrity. Student behavior was also assessed to determine if there is a relationship between treatment integrity and student outcome. All initially nonadherent teachers demonstrated immediate increases in treatment integrity following the DPF procedure. Results were maintained when feedback was decreased from daily to weekly. The results from this study did not demonstrate a link between student behavior and treatment integrity as found in previous research. --Page ii.

Download or read book The Effect of Treatment Integrity on Student Achievement written by Karolyn Marie MacLennan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research suggests that repeated reading interventions improve student reading rate (Strong, Wehby, Falk, & Lane, 2004; Welsch, 2006; Yurick, 2006). However, little research exists in the literature regarding the degree to which the intervention must be implemented in order to obtain positive student outcomes. The current study used a repeated reading intervention at varying levels of treatment integrity with 16 second grade students identified as struggling readers in a quasi-experimental design. The repeated reading intervention was applied to three groups of students at either: 100%, 80%, or 60% integrity, and the results were compared to students in a control group. Three out of four students receiving the intervention at 100% integrity demonstrated positive g-index scores. Only half of students in the 80% and 60% groups, and none of the students in the control group achieved positive g-index scores. Potential implications, suggestions for future research, and limitations are included.
Download or read book Design and Analysis of Single Case Research written by Ronald D. Franklin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on one important aspect of psychological research -- the intensive study of people measured one or more at a time. Some important historical material is detailed in several chapters making a strong connection to previous material in psychology. Several contributors present important details on classical and novel methods to study behavior over time, and they do so in the context of appropriate statistical methods. This appropriately reflects the growing interest in examining dynamic behaviors by objective measurement. Key experimental design principles are expertly stated, reflecting the growing interest in studying the individual course of development for invariants in behaviors, including some unusual constructs such as cycles and punctuated equilibria. This book also deals with practical contemporary problems in psychology and documents the increased possibility of using clinical research tools. Taken as a whole, this volume is filled with interesting historical points, informative mathematical and statistical analyses, and practical methods. It is the only book addressing the issues of meta-analysis, cyclicity, and confounds to visual inspection of single subject data that considers ways in which statistical software can aid in overcoming these constraints.

Download or read book Flexibility Within Fidelity written by Philip C. Kendall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among mental health researchers, there is a consensus that empirically supported treatments (ESTs) have favorable outcomes and that the outcomes are typically better than other approaches. The majority of these are available as therapist manuals, brief books, or other extended volumes. However, among mental health service providers, there is often a view that these manuals and books can be formulaic and rigid, and likely insensitive to individual patient needs or presentations. With these conflicting perspectives in place, there is a need for accurate communication and reconciliation. Flexibility within Fidelity identifies how effective ESTs can be implemented with both integrity and flexibility. The book is comprised of chapters focusing on specific ESTs for identified problem areas amongst adults and children/adolescents, including anxiety disorders, PTSD, pain management, and depression among others. Chapter authors focus on the specific treatment components that are required to maintain fidelity and the features of the EST which can be applied with flexibility, promoting a personalized implementation. Written in an accessible style featuring in-depth clinical discussions, this book will equip mental health practitioners with the tools to implement ESTs across client presentations.
