 procedural fidelity in other people might call it treatment integrity fidelity or treatment and treatment fidelity it's about treatments not cheating on each other they might stay true to themselves see I'm actually not even being funny because you notice I'm not laughing really folks procedural fidelity are you doing it the way you intended to do it all right hmm let's see I intend to drink some water oops I missed we have no procedural fidelity none right so when we when we're implementing an intervention all right we want to make sure that the intervention is done the way it is intended to be done that would be procedural fidelity or or treatment integrity right so are we delivering the independent variable the way we're supposed to be what they didn't need to be in quotes are we delivering the independent variable the way we're supposed to are we doing the things that were that we're intending to do so we need to double check it we need to have people evaluate whether or not the procedures or the interventions are being done done the way that they are designed
