DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) proposal is to develop and evaluate the Wraparound Fidelity Assessment System (WFAS), a multi-method approach to assessing the quality of individualized care planning and management for children and youth with serious emotional and behavioral problems and their families. WFAS will consist of two modules, each consisting of a set of independent but overlapping measures. The first module will be marketed for use by researchers, evaluators, and agency certification entities to determine degree of conformance to the wraparound service model (WSM). The second module will support internal quality improvement activities and thus be marketed to trainers, supervisors, and program personnel involved in implementing WSM. The current research project will implement and evaluate psychometrics, reliability, and validity of a prototype of the WFAS, which will consist of interviews with caregivers, youths, providers, and members of the child and family team; a practice observation measure to be employed by external evaluators to assess conformance to standards of high- quality wraparound during team meeting sessions; a record review instrument for assessing the written record of the wraparound process and indicators of fidelity to the prescribed model; and program administrator and community stakeholder interviews. During the course of Phase I of this STTR project, we will also develop and evaluate the feasibility of prototypes for two web-based supports for using the WFAS; (1) a web portal for WFAS information and dissemination, and (2) a computer-based training program for implementing one of the WFAS measures. Successful development of a reliable, valid, and user-friendly fidelity assessment system for this service model will inform decision-making by providers, supervisors, program administrators, and key stakeholders in the broader service system. The WFAS will also provide a model to the field for deploying fidelity measurement, recognized as a core implementation support to evidence-based practices. Given the lack of such measures in the field currently, the fidelity assessment system and the proposed supportive technologies for implementation will have significant commercial application for public agencies, behavioral health programs, and research and evaluation entities, and will support improved health and functioning outcomes for an underserved population of children and families.

描述（由申请人提供）：第一阶段小型企业技术转让 (STTR) 提案的目的是开发和评估环绕式忠诚度评估系统 (WFAS)，这是一种评估个性化护理规划和管理质量的多方法方法对于有严重情绪和行为问题的儿童和青少年及其家人。 WFAS 将由两个模块组成，每个模块由一组独立但重叠的措施组成。第一个模块将推向市场，供研究人员、评估人员和机构认证实体使用，以确定与环绕服务模型 (WSM) 的符合程度。第二个模块将支持内部质量改进活动，从而向参与实施 WSM 的培训师、主管和项目人员推销。当前的研究项目将实施和评估 WFAS 原型的心理测量学、可靠性和有效性，其中包括对看护者、青少年、提供者以及儿童和家庭团队成员的访谈；外部评估人员采用实践观察措施来评估团队会议期间是否符合高质量总结标准；用于评估概括过程的书面记录和对规定模型的保真度指标的记录审查工具；以及项目管理员和社区利益相关者访谈。在 STTR 项目第一阶段的过程中，我们还将开发和评估使用 WFAS 的两个基于网络的支持的原型的可行性； (1) 世界针联信息和传播门户网站，以及 (2) 用于实施世界针联一项措施的基于计算机的培训计划。针对该服务模型成功开发可靠、有效且用户友好的保真度评估系统将为更广泛的服务系统中的提供者、主管、项目管理员和关键利益相关者的决策提供信息。 WFAS 还将为部署保真度测量领域提供一个模型，该模型被认为是对基于证据的实践的核心实施支持。鉴于目前该领域缺乏此类措施，保真度评估系统和拟议的实施支持技术将对公共机构、行为健康项目以及研究和评估实体具有重要的商业应用，并将支持改善健康和功能结果得不到充分服务的儿童和家庭群体。
