Fidelity
|
The extent to which the intervention was delivered as planned, that is, the quality and integrity of the intervention
|
(1) For three to four sessions (randomly selected) on each Families for Health program, the fidelity will be addressed indirectly from:
|
|
- flip-charts used and developed during the session
|
|
- the parents’ end-of-session evaluation, covering whether the session’s topics were mentioned and their perception of the facilitators and the program
|
|
- facilitators’ weekly log of their delivery of the program, recording how it went and any variations
|
|
(2) Interviews with facilitators at the end of the program
|
| | |
(3) Parents’ end-of-program questionnaire
|
