Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Fidelity

  Fidelity monitoring will begin simultaneously with the implementation of SafeCare (SC®). Fidelity is assessed largely via client report, with clients completing a fidelity questionnaire at the end of every SC or SC+ session. A secondary fidelity component utilizes information gained from the natural implementation of SC®. SC+ includes ongoing consultation in the form of expert SC® clinicians who accompany home visitors, observe their interactions with families, and coach them on improving performance and services.
