| How might data be collected for this target response? | Identify several interventions that might help improve response rates. Place them in order with the least-restrictive at the top so that the interventions may be introduced systematically, adding more restrictive / less favorable interventions after the outcomes of less restrictive options have been measured. |

| Utilize a checklist for each client's program on a daily basis indicating whether or not data has been collected. | - Notification poster or visual to remind staff that they need to be collecting data |

| Interview staff including manager | Antecedent manipulation - text prompt for eg. |
| Attempt to simplify the data collection to a checklist | Have a team meeting to discuss why the protocol is not being follow |
| data collection on percent completion for each staff member. | self-reporting checklist for data collection, policy statement signed by each staff, retraining using bst |
| IOA data | Prompts, clarifying expectations, provide feedback, reinforcement system, simplify tasks, warnings |
| observations by behaviour analyst and supervisor on positve | discussions with staff about barriers prompts and reminders posting staff performance |
| observation | implement a reinforcement system for taking data as well as acknowledgement when someone meets expectations |
| Take individual staff data on who was responsible for collecting the data and if they did or did not; staff could use a self-monitoring checklist after each session to document if they took data | -self-monitoring checklist for each staff member to check off they have collected data for that period/task |
| Direct observation, implementation fidelity checklist, log or time-sample data, Staff interviews or surveys | A hierarchy of interventions can be implemented in a least-to-most restrictive order. The first step is to reduce effort and increase visibility by using environmental prompts and job aids, such as signage and clearly labeled data collection materials to remind and guide staff. Next, introduce simple reinforcement systems for accurate and timely data collection, such as verbal praise, small incentives, or recognition boards. Clarifying expectations and providing consistent, non-punitive feedback on staff performance can further encourage accountability and improvement. Introducing peer accountability systems, like assigning staff buddies or designating shift leads to support data collection, can create a culture of shared responsibility. If off-task social behavior continues to interfere with work duties, structured break times or scheduled social moments can help reduce competition for staff attention during work hours. If these strategies do not lead to meaningful improvement, more structured interventions may be introduced, such as daily or weekly performance reviews where staff self-report their adherence to data collection and receive feedback from supervisors. Should performance remain unchanged, more formal performance-based contingency management systems, such as incentives tied directly to data collection compliance, may be needed. As a last resort, formal monitoring and progressive disciplinary procedures may be necessary in line with organizational policies |

| At the start of each day, the supervisor tracks if the binders are being accessed. Review of data collected with an inter-observer comparison, momentary time sampling of staff interacting with clients. | 1. Provide pre-instruction at beginning of the day to ensure data is being collected and DTTs are done according to protocol. |
| Record the number of days in which data are collected out of a week. Note which staff members are actually taking data and which are not. | Place a note on the shelf to remind staff to collect data. |
| Multiple observations by behavior analyst to control for behavior reactivity. Checklist completed with staff by behavior analyst and possibly a self-evaluation by staff. | Written cue to collect data. Text alert at the beginning, middle and end of day to collect data. Verbal prompting begining of day program to collect data. Verbal feedback at end of day. Posting on wall of data collection per staff. |
