Combs, Katie Massey; Buckley, Pamela R.; Lain, Marion Amanda; Drewelow, Karen M.; Urano, Grace; Kerns, Suzanne E. U. – Prevention Science, 2022
As evidence-based interventions (EBIs) become more widely disseminated, fidelity of implementation (FOI) often wanes. This study explores the association between FOI and malleable variables within classrooms that could be targeted to optimize resources without compromising FOI as school-based EBIs are disseminated across real-world settings. We…
