Course 0: Fidelity Monitoring and Feedback Loops in Intervention and Services Research for Programs Offered to Justice-Involved Individuals
The Fidelity Monitoring and Feedback Loops in Intervention and Services Research for Programs offered to Justice-Involved Individuals course series is designed to help researchers and practitioners develop core skills and develop the knowledge needed to engage in implementing programs using fidelity monitoring, and the processes for using fidelity measurement and assessment methods to adapt programs when needed, and engaging in an implementation-assessment-improvement feedback loop that ensures continuous quality improvement over time. People who take this course series can take just one course to hone in on a particular skill set, pick and choose courses based on needs, or they can begin the course with course number one and progress all the way through course number seven. For those people who complete all seven courses, they'll receive a certificate of fidelity assurance, similar to certificates provided for courses in university settings.
Although the courses vary somewhat in length, most are between 30 and 45 minutes including lecture content, skill building activities, and a post-test to assess knowledge gained during the course.
This course series is designed to help researchers and practitioners to develop the skills needed to implement programs with fidelity and to regularly assess the implementation of programs in contexts delivering services to criminal justice involved individuals.
Each course will provide progressive knowledge and expertise related to fidelity monitoring.
The lesson in this course is to provide an overview of each lesson.
This course is designed to benefit researchers who are interested in conducting experimental and clinical trials of interventions and criminal justice professionals and healthcare professionals who are interested in implementing evidence driven interventions in criminal justice and correctional settings. This series can also benefit healthcare professionals and para-professionals who work with people that have histories of criminal justice system involvement.
This course is sponsored by the Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN), an initiative funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
We also gratefully acknowledge the following people or organizations for contributions and support: the Center for Advancing Correctional Excellence at George Mason University, Slonky, LLC, and IJRD team members Amberly Prykhodko, Jennifer Joseph, Shelby Pederson, and Elizabeth Curley for helping to develop the series.
A special thanks to Faye Taxman and Amy Murphy on providing their guidance and input.
