Adaptation, Fidelity, and Tailoring Workgroup (AFT)
The Adaptation, Fidelity, and Tailoring Workgroup began in January 2016 as part of the VA Implementation Research Group. We currently have over 200 national and international members from different disciplines.
This workgroup is co-led by Borsika Rabin and Russell Glasgow and meets monthly to discuss topics related to adaptation, fidelity, and tailoring with attention to clinical application. These discussions include 1) how to define interventions and implementation strategies as well as 2) how to describe and document adaptations.
We welcome all who are interested and invite those interested to become a member!
