This study describes the development and validation of a short, self-administered fidelity measure used to capture the perspectives of a range of individuals participating in a family group decision making conference. Exploratory factor analyses suggested either a two or a three factor solution. Findings from confirmatory factor analysis supported a three factor model that includes sets of practices yielding: (1) Productive Decision Making; (2) Family Group Inclusion; and (3) Professional Supportiveness. These results provide direction to public child welfare practitioners and policymakers about the importance and the feasibility of attending to multiple perspectives in assessing program delivery.
► Measuring fidelity of family group decision making is a critical need.
► Short, self report fidelity measures are needed.
► Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses suggest three factors.
► These factors are productive decisionmaking, family inclusion, professional supportiveness.
