Formal Support for Implementation
There is formal support available for implementation of GenerationPMTO (Individual Delivery Format) as listed below:
Prior to the start of implementation, the ISII model developer team may conduct on-site visits with agency leaders and supervisors. These pre-implementation meetings are an opportunity for sites to describe their specific context, for model developers to provide information about GenerationPMTO's research basis, intervention components, training program, engagement strategies, to advise about requirements, for collaboration about short- and long-term goals, and to ensure readiness. Implementation Sciences International, Inc. (ISII), which is a non-profit affiliate of the Oregon Social Learning Center, oversees the implementation of GenerationPMTO. The Director of Implementation and Training designs the training programs and infrastructure protocol. They also provide training, coaching, and coordination for implementation projects. The director leads a team of trainers and consultants who are available to provide support for all implementation objectives. The ISII website (www.generationpmto.org) provides individual descriptions and roles for staff, mentors, and associates.
Fidelity Measures
There are fidelity measures for GenerationPMTO (Individual Delivery Format) as listed below:
Competent adherence to GenerationPMTO is assessed with the Fidelity of Implementation Rating System (FIMP). The Director of Fidelity, oversees fidelity operations for GenerationPMTO implementation sites. FIMP ratings are made by reliable certified GenerationPMTO specialists who assess the intervention as delivered with individual families in community or home settings. Ratings are based on direct observation of segments of sessions based on core parenting components and evaluate five theoretically relevant categories (i.e., Knowledge, Structure, Teaching, Process Skills, and Overall Development). Procedures, definitions of core parenting practices, and the rating scale are described in the FIMP manual. Interested parties can contact the Director of Administration, Anna Snider, for the fidelity measure. She is available at (541) 485-2711 or annas@generationpmto.org.
Implementation Guides or Manuals
There are implementation guides or manuals for GenerationPMTO (Individual Delivery Format) as listed below:
Manuals are required for implementation and are provided (at workshops) to those who receive training in GenerationPMTO. Additionally, manuals are provided to clinicians who participate in training to become GenerationPMTO Coaches and Trainers.
