Belinda Borrelli, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist and Professor and Director of The Center for Behavioral Science Research at Boston University, Goldman School of Dental Medicine, and a Visiting Professor at the University of Manchester, UK. She is also the PI and Director of BU's Mobile and Electronic Health-ARC. Her research focuses on motivating health behavior change across a wide variety of behaviors (e.g., smoking, vaping, oral health, treatment adherence, asthma, dietary, physical activity) and populations. She specializes in treatment development, particularly for those who are unmotivated to change, and integrating theory-based treatments into public health contexts. She has developed and tested mobile health platforms for behavior change (mobile apps, text messaging, Virtual Reality). She has served on grant review panels in the US, Europe, and the UK. 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. She was also an advisor to NIDCR and NHLBI on treatment fidelity, publishing invited articles on best practice guidelines. She is a Fellow of the APA, The Society of Behavioral Medicine, and The Society for Research on Nicotine & Tobacco.

A New Tool to Assess Treatment Fidelity and Evaluation of Treatment Fidelity Across 10 Years of Health Behavior Research

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.
