Description
Summary:Michael Baglivio, Kevin Wolff, Katherine Jackowski, Gabrielle Chapman, Mark Greenwald, and Katherine Gomez (2018, this issue) add to the findings of a small but growing body of research aimed at focusing on the importance of program integrity in implementing evidence-based programming and practices (Holsinger, 1999; Latessa, Smith, Schweitzer, and Labrecque, 2013; Lowenkamp, 2004; Lowenkamp, Flores, Holsinger, Makarios, and Latessa, 2010; Lowenkamp, Latessa, and Smith, 2006; Lowenkamp, Makarios, Latessa, Lemke, and Smith, 2010; Lowenkamp, Pealer, Smith, and Latessa, 2006; Makarios, Brusman-Lovins, Latessa, and Smith, 2016; Nesovic, 2003; Ostermann and Hyatt, 2017; Quay, 1977; Schoenwald, Chapman, Sheidow, and Carter, 2007). The findings from this type of research have helped practitioners to advance the implementation of evidence-based practices, yet in many ways the greatest challenge remains—translating knowledge into practice and doing so with fidelity. Indeed, the challenge for those administering many agencies and programs is not “what to do” but rather “how to do it” and “how to do it well.”
