Treatment fidelity refers to the extent to which a program or intervention is implemented as intended, and is often assessed through measures of adherence, dosage, quality of delivery, and participant responsiveness. Internal consistency is a measure of how well different items within a test or questionnaire are related to each other, while construct validity refers to the degree to which a measure actually assesses the theoretical construct it is intended to measure. Program drift refers to when a program or intervention changes over time in ways that deviate from its original design or goals. Therefore, the best choice for the accuracy with which a program or intervention is implemented as intended is treatment fidelity (option C).
