How might data be collected for this target response?	Quick walk-through observations using a simple checklist: Did data get collected today? (yes/no) Was the binder out and used? (yes/no) You could also do spot checks of completed data sheets and summarize percent of days data were collected by staff or program.
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.	Reduce effort – Make data collection easier Simplify data sheets Move binders to where staff actually work Use fewer response options (check boxes vs. writing) Self-monitoring Staff check off when data are completed at the end of each shift Can be built right into the daily routine or binder Performance feedback (group-level) Post simple weekly feedback (e.g., “Data collected 4/5 days”) Keep it neutral and informational at first Social reinforcement / recognition Verbal praise in staff meetings Public acknowledgment for consistent data collection Individual performance feedback Brief, direct feedback when data are missing Review expectations and problem-solve barriers Added consequences or accountability Tie data collection to supervisor check-ins or performance expectations Use only if earlier steps don’t move the needle

Reduce effort – Make data collection easier
Simplify data sheets
Move binders to where staff actually work
Use fewer response options (check boxes vs. writing)

Self-monitoring
Staff check off when data are completed at the end of each shift
Can be built right into the daily routine or binder
Performance feedback (group-level)
Post simple weekly feedback (e.g., “Data collected 4/5 days”)
Keep it neutral and informational at first

Social reinforcement / recognition
Verbal praise in staff meetings
Public acknowledgment for consistent data collection

Individual performance feedback
Brief, direct feedback when data are missing
Review expectations and problem-solve barriers

Added consequences or accountability
Tie data collection to supervisor check-ins or performance expectations
Use only if earlier steps don’t move the needle
