Glossary Term

Program Fidelity

Program fidelity refers to how closely a program's implementation follows its intended design or evidence-based model. High fidelity indicates that essential components were delivered as planned, which strengthens confidence in evaluation results. RTI measures program fidelity to understand variations in delivery and to identify ways to improve training and support.
