“…(5) Program differentiation involves the extent to which a program's theory and practices can be distinguished from other programs (program uniqueness). The latter two aspects of implementation have not received much research attention, and are not evaluated here, but see Hogue et al (2005), and Hansen and McNeal (1999) for examples.…”

The first purpose of this review was to assess the impact of implementation on program outcomes, and the second purpose was to identify factors affecting the implementation process. Results from over quantitative 500 studies offered strong empirical support to the conclusion that the level of implementation affects the outcomes obtained in promotion and prevention programs. Findings from 81 additional reports indicate there are at least 23 contextual factors that influence implementation. The implementation process is affected by variables related to communities, providers and innovations, and aspects of the prevention delivery system (i.e., organizational functioning) and the prevention support system (i.e., training and technical assistance). The collection of implementation data is an essential feature of program evaluations, and more information is needed on which and how various factors influence implementation in different community settings.

“…For instance, direct observations, where a trained observer monitors an interventionist and records his or her implementation integrity, holds potential to provide highly accurate information about a person's intervention implementation. A comprehensive literature review of implementation integrity measures suggests that assessing the inter-observer reliability between two different observers can demonstrate sound reliability (Hogue, Liddle, Singer, & Leckrone, 2005;Mowbray, Holter, Teague, & Baybee, 2003). However, key limitations to doing direct observations are that it can be timeintensive and sensitive to reactivity effects (Gresham, 1989;Wilkinson, 2006).…”

“…Two dimensions of method fidelity have been central in studies of implementation fidelity: adherence to core program criteria as specified in manuals and competent delivery of the program (Dumas, Lynch, Laughlin, Phillips Smith, & Prinz, 2001;Hogue, Liddle, Singer, & Leckrone, 2005;Perepletchikova, Treat, & Kazdin, 2007). Although adherence (delivering intervention components) is now most commonly assessed using a self-report instrument that is completed by the practitioner, ratings provided by trained nonparticipant observers provide a different and more objective assessment of adherence.…”

Background: Most prenatal preventive interventions for unmarried mothers do not integrate fathers or help the parents plan for the development of a functional coparenting alliance after the baby’s arrival. Furthermore, properly trained professionals have only rarely examined the fidelity of these interventions. Purpose: This report examines whether experienced community interventionists (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood service personnel) with no formal couples’ therapy training are capable of pairing together to deliver with adequate fidelity a manualized dyadic intervention designed for expectant unmarried mothers and fathers. Methods: Three male and four female mentors (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood personnel) working in paired male–female co-mentor teams delivered a seven-session “Figuring It Out for the Child” curriculum (six prenatal sessions, one booster) to 14 multirisk, unmarried African American families (parent age ranging from 14 to 40). Parental well-being and views of fatherhood were assessed before the intervention and again 3 months after the baby’s birth. Quality assurance analysts evaluated mentor fidelity (adherence to the curriculum, competence in engaging couples with specified curricular content) through a review of the transcripts and audiotapes from the sessions. Mentors also rated their own adherence. Results: Although the mentors overestimated adherence, quality assurance analyst ratings found acceptable levels of adherence and competence, with no significant male–female differences in fidelity. Adherence and competence were marginally higher in sessions that required fewer direct couples’ interventions. Parents reported satisfaction with the interventions and showed statistically significant improvement in the family dimensions of interest at 3–4 months posttreatment. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Findings support the wisdom of engaging men both as interventionists and as recipients of prenatal coparenting interventions—even in families where the parents are uncoupled and non-co-residential.
