Skolits, Gary J.; Richards, Jennifer – Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation, 2009
This article argues that intervention pilot test evaluations have focused insufficient attention on the measurement of project fidelity and the subsequent use of fidelity results for (a) interpreting variations in project outcomes and (b) understanding the rationale for teachers' deviations from implementation protocols. The authors report on the…

Kugler, Kari C.; Komro, Kelli A.; Stigler, Melissa H.; Mnyika, Kagoma S.; Masatu, Melkiory; Aastrom, Anne N.; Klepp, Knut-Inge – AIDS Education and Prevention, 2007
The use of reliable and valid tools to evaluate theory-based health interventions is widely accepted as critical to the behavioral sciences. However, quite often the psychometric properties of survey instruments used to evaluate behavioral interventions are not published, limiting our understanding of how the theory works. The purpose of this…
