Evaluating the treatment integrity of a continuing education program.
Effective Patient Teaching (EPT), a health profession continuing education course, improves educators' teaching skills. The authors, through this dissemination study, aimed to learn whether, through a train-the-trainers approach, others could teach Effective Patient Teaching as its developers intended--that is, the assessment of what has been called "treatment integrity." Trainers' overall fidelity within and between three test sites was good, supporting Effective Patient Teaching's generalizability and transportability.
