Procedural fidelity (PF) refers to the implementation of a research plan, as intended. Measuring PF should be done not to satisfy minimum requirements for publication but to provide useful information to implementers, researchers, and consumers of research. Measurement of PF requires careful consideration and planning, and should include: naming important steps to be completed in each condition, defining each step, choosing a measurement system, determining which analysis is beneficial, training observers, conducting observations, analysing fidelity and identifying discrepancies, and reporting adequate data for consumers. Careful measurement and reporting of PF data will lead to advances in determining which interventions are effective, for whom, and under what conditions.
程序保真度（PF）是指按预期实施研究计划。测量PF的目的不应只是为了满足发表的最低要求，而是要为研究的实施者、研究者和使用者提供有用信息。PF的测量需要仔细考虑和规划，应包括：确定每种情况下要完成的重要步骤、定义每个步骤、选择测量系统、确定哪种分析有益、培训观察者、进行观察、分析保真度并识别差异，以及向使用者报告足够的数据。对PF数据进行仔细测量和报告将有助于确定哪些干预措施是有效的、对谁有效以及在何种条件下有效。
