This present study examined parent and teacher treatment integrity during conjoint behavioral consultation (CBC) in the remediation of behavioral problems in children at home and at school. A primary purpose of the study examined the relationship between treatment integrity and treatment outcome. A second purpose was to investigate the association between the integrity with which interventions were implemented and treatment acceptability. More specifically, the relationships between parent and teacher treatment integrity and (a) time to effectiveness; and (b) intervention difficulty were examined. An A/B design was used and participants included 12 children, their parents, and their teachers. Results indicate that parent and teacher treatment integrity was moderately related to the effectiveness of interventions. Results also indicate that treatment integrity and parent and teacher perceptions of treatment acceptability were minimally related. However, strong relationships were found between treatment integrity and parent and teacher perceptions of time to effectiveness and a moderate relationship was found with treatment integrity and parent ratings of program difficulty. Moreover, the directions of the treatment integrity relationships with treatment acceptability and intervention difficulty factors were in the direction hypothesized with the exception of teacher perceptions of treatment acceptability. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings, limitations of this study, and future research directions are discussed.
