| Research Abstract |
In line with program evaluation research of randomized controlled trials for effectiveness of integrated programs based on Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) combined with family psycho-education (FPE) and IPS supported employment programs, we developed multi-phasic process evaluation methods and investigated effective ingredients of the programs associated with outcome evaluation. We have attempted to develop the multi-phasic assessment scales analyzing effective program components (ingredients) focusing on service functions as well as service structures of the programs associated with program outcomes, although evaluation of service structures used to be common process evaluation methods. Accordingly, we have built fidelity assessment scales for integrated evidenced-based practice (EBP) programs (ACT, FPE and IPS) at the program level, as well as three types of fidelity scales at the individual client level (those assessed by staff, clients ' perceived scales, self-administered, and service activity codes used in the electronic record system) that have been analyzed through their associations with outcome variables.
We have found some important correlations between effective program ingredients we have extracted and the outcome indices, although we have now been analyzing the relations in our continued research project. However, we need further research because scaling methods of service provision at the individual client level associated with needs for areas of the service are under consideration. For all of these researches, empirical approaches to the development of formulating and standardizing integrated EBP programs are expected to be developed.
