This conceptual paper explores fundamental issues in assessing implementation. Fundamental issues have received attention in the literature, but have yet to be compiled in a decision framework. Assessing implementation provides important information regarding program feasibility, interpretation of program outcomes, and program theory. Implementation assessment is of particular importance in practical or real-world settings, which lack the control of clinical trials or laboratory settings. Five fundamental issues identified in literature are presented in the form of decisions evaluators make when planning implementation assessment. Fundamental decisions include (1) a theoretical approach of fidelity or adaptation; (2) a focus on delivery or receipt; (3) measurement of quantity, quality, or structure; (4) consideration of implementation globally or of specific program components; and (5) systematic manipulation of implementation or naturalistic observation

Power point presentation given at the AEA 2014 Conference in Denver, Colorado, on October 17, 2014. A fundamental need of programs that utilize a standard curriculum is to assess whether or not the curriculum is delivered with fidelity to the intended model. Informed by implementation science, the presenters developed and implemented a curriculum implementation assessment to examine the extent to which an early childhood home visitation program in Pima County, Arizona implements a parenting education curriculum with fidelity. The tools developed assessed the extent that staff training, supervision, and home visitation were implemented with quality and fidelity. The presenters will provide a brief overview of implementation science and review the process of developing five assessment stages and practical application to programs, which include: 1) developing fidelity metrics; 2) developing and testing instruments; 3) collecting and analyzing data; 4) providing feedback in written and oral reports; and 5) using feedback to inform staff development and program improvement strategies
