| How might data be collected for this target response? | Identify an intervention, or set of interventions, based on the PDC-HS data. |
|---|---|
| Utilization of implementation checklist , staff self monitoring logs and direct observation | In order to best improve consistency, staff should receive clear, written steps for each strategy, along with visual reminders and brief daily reviews. Prompts or cues can help staff remember to act at the right time, and modeling or demonstrations can reinforce what’s expected. These supports make it easier for staff to follow through with stress-reducing strategies for the individuals in their care. |
| Ask counselors to self-monitor follow up on pre-fab sheets. Also data on stress-induced resident behaviors. . | Would do a whole staff training training on the issue of stress management, behavioral challenges, and best practices for decreased stress, then use data to show how their not implementing procedures leads to more challenging stree-related behaviors. |
| Given that the PDC-HS identified "Task Clarification and Prompting" as the intervention domain, we can conclude that the residential counselors are not consistently implementing antecedent interventions due to one or more of the following reasons: Tasks are not clearly defined or understood. Staff are unsure when and how to implement the procedures. There are insufficient prompts/reminders in place to guide action in real time. | Based on the PDC-HS data indicating the "Task Clarification and Prompting" domain, the following interventions are appropriate to address residential counselors' inconsistent implementation of antecedent interventions in the group home |
| Keep a checklist of antecedents for specific reoccurring problem behaviors. | Create a checklist of specific antecedents for the residents. |
| Checklist to record the antecedent measures taken as they occur. | Put up a reminder sign about implementing these measures. Create a simple data sheet on a clipboard for staff to easily to grab. |
| The goal is to measure whether antecedent strategies are being implemented correctly and consistently. Data collection procedures may include: Treatment Fidelity Checklists Create a checklist outlining the specific antecedent interventions expected (e.g., providing a visual schedule, offering choices before transitions, checking in during high-stress times). Observe sessions and record whether each step is implemented: ✅ Yes / ❌ No. Frequency Recording Count how often antecedent interventions are used across shifts or clients each day. Self-Monitoring Logs Counselors can track their own use of antecedent strategies on a brief daily checklist (e.g., “Did I offer the transition warning today?”). Permanent Product Review If antecedent supports include things like setting up materials or visuals, data can be collected by checking whether those materials are prepared and in place. Staff Interviews or Brief Surveys Ask questions to clarify what staff understand about when and how to implement the antecedent strategies (e.g., “What do you do before transitions?”). | Since this issue stems from lack of clarity or insufficient reminders, interventions should focus on making expectations clear, specific, and easy to remember.

| Percentage of Implementation + log reason (brief notes indicating when antecedent interventions were implemented and when they were not, with reasons) | Ensure that each staff member has the antecedent strategies extracted from the BIP in their binder, prompt the use of the binder during supervision, role-play the intervention steps, practice the interventions with the supervisor and provide immediate feedback, continue practicing even outside of session until reaching proficiency |

| Fidelity Checklist for Antecedent Interventions Create a step-by-step checklist detailing the expected antecedent strategies (e.g., providing clear instructions, environmental setup, delivering prompts). Observe and record whether counselors implement each step correctly during shifts. Frequency and Duration Data Track how often antecedent interventions are used per shift and the duration of their use. Prompt Type and Prompt Fading Data Record what types of prompts are used (verbal, gestural, physical) and whether prompt fading is occurring appropriately. Staff Self-Reporting | Behavior Skills Training (BST) Use BST to train counselors with instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback focused on antecedent interventions. Provide easy-to-follow checklists, cue cards, or flowcharts for antecedent procedures. Use scripts or sample language counselors can use when giving instructions or prompts. |

| Specify the antecedent interventions and create a space to record data for them.
