Assessing the fidelity of a peer-led chronic pain management program (PAP).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intervention fidelity is the core component of a well-designed clinical trial and processes that are used to ensure that the study intervention is delivered as planned. It affects the design and implementation of a study as well as the analysis of the results and interpretation of the findings. The objectives of this study are (a) to describe the methods of assessing the intervention fidelity used in the peer-led chronic pain management program (PAP) and (b) to report the findings on the PAP's intervention fidelity.

Methods

To optimize fidelity to the intervention, we used various strategies and measured them in a continuous process using several different approaches: (a) peer volunteer (PV) training workshop, (b) biweekly meetings with the research team, (c) a de
