ABSTRACT

Our multi-centre research trial examined the effects of participants receiving varying levels of CTCH and the degree to which each level was successfully attained using our treatment adherence protocol and fidelity scale developed by the first author (see Appendices 1 and 2). Initial data show that the fidelity scales yielded high inter-rater reliability as rated by trial supervisors (r = 0.89). In ongoing research, this scale will, we hope, begin to help us answer key questions about CTCH:

Which elements of CTCH are most effective?

For whom is CTCH most appropriate?
