She was founder and chair of the NIH-Behavioral Change Consortium (BCC) Treatment Fidelity Workgroup and published best practices guidelines on treatment fidelity which have over 4,200 citations.

Resources for the Annual Meeting

A New Tool to Assess Treatment Fidelity and Evaluation of Treatment Fidelity Across 10 Years of Health Behavior Research
Belinda Borrelli , Deborah Sepinwall, Denise Ernst, Albert J Bellg, Susan Czajkowski, Rosemary Breger, Carol DeFrancesco, Chantal Levesque, Daryl L Sharp, Gbenga Ogedegbe, Barbara Resnick, Denise Orwig

A. Bellg, B. Borrelli, et al. (2004) previously developed a framework that consisted of strategies to enhance treatment fidelity of health behavior interventions. The present study used this framework to (a) develop a measure of treatment fidelity and (b) use the measure to evaluate treatment fidelity in articles published in 5 journals over 10 years. Three hundred forty-two articles met inclusion criteria; 22% reported strategies to maintain provider skills, 27% reported checking adherence to protocol, 35% reported using a treatment manual, 54% reported using none of these strategies, and 12% reported using all 3 strategies. The mean proportion adherence to treatment fidelity strategies was .55; 15.5% of articles achieved greater than or equal to .80. This tool may be useful for researchers, grant reviewers, and editors planning and evaluating trials.
