Concurrent with this data collection, NFP fidelity reports with quantitative data on the reach and the dose of the NFP intervention will be collected and analyzed.
Trial enrollment, completeness of data collection, and fidelity of follow-up procedures will be reviewed and reported during study team meetings which will be conducted on a monthly basis.
We intended to assess the methodological quality of the study designs and describe each included study against the following criteria: allocation to intervention/control; confounders; blinding; data collection methods; attrition; fidelity; and follow up.
Another investigator back translated the tool following data collection to ensure fidelity.
Furthermore, for effective data collection and therapy fidelity reasons, a limited musical instrumentation will be used in the sessions.
Study outcomes in the ViDOS trial included both feasibility (e.g., recruitment, retention, data collection, and intervention fidelity) [ 16] and clinical outcomes (proportion of residents prescribed vitamin D, calcium, and osteoporosis medications) [ 17].
This timing allowed for more feedback on barriers and facilitators to implementation from focus group participants intimately involved in the intervention, and allowed for richer data collection on intervention fidelity, creating more detailed feedback to sites on how to improve their interventions going forward.
For clinic personnel, fidelity data will be collected during the last week of each fidelity data collection month using an online self-administered practitioner and staff version of the "How is UAIHC doing?" questionnaire.
At check in on the fidelity data collection day, front desk staff will make a printed handout available describing a "How is UAIHC Doing?" evaluation, and asking all patients seen that day to provide feedback through an online questionnaire after that day's visit.
Data were discarded from only 1.2% of subjects due to poor quality, reflecting the high fidelity of data collection and scoring methods.
