Adherence Monitoring

Evidence-Based Associates' primary goal - above all else - is to ensure that Blueprints Model® Programs - Functional Family Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy and Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care - are implemented with fidelity.

In order to achieve this goal, Evidence-Based Associates works closely with the model programs to implement and fine-tune their adherence monitoring strategies to provide feedback on the quality of the implementation efforts. Evidence-Based Assoicates has, for example, helped Multisystemic Therapy improve its collection rates of therapist adherence measures (TAMs) and has assisted Functional Family Therapy in developing a statewide program adherence monitoring system.

As a pilot project in Florida, Evidence-Based Associates has also assisted the Blueprints Promising® program, Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT), to disseminate its adherence monitoring strategy.

As an optional service, Evidence-Based Associates has also demonstrated success in helping funding agencies identify unlicensed Multisystemic Therapy and Functional Family Therapy programs and to provide them with "roadmap" for bringing these programs back to fidelity.
