In this study, we assessed the feasibility and social validity of an adapted approach to positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) implementation in secure juvenile facilities. The authors developed a comprehensive model of facility-wide positive behavior interventions and supports (FW-PBIS) for use in secure juvenile correctional facilities, both detention and long term, as well as state and privately run. FW-PBIS leadership team members that included all major facility roles (education, corrections, mental health, medical, recreation) participated in staff development activities and implemented the advocated approaches over the course of the study. We assessed the fidelity, feasibility, and social validity of FW-PBIS in a repeated-measures evaluation study across 50 secure juvenile facilities. We collected intervention fidelity data using a version of the School-Wide Evaluation Tool modified to reflect the unique features of secure juvenile facilities. We also gathered behavioral incident data from the facilities, but it was not possible to combine these data across sites due to the vast differences in data collection, definitions/classifications, and storage systems from state to state. Results indicated that all participating facilities were able to achieve acceptable FW-PBIS implementation fidelity. Staff rated the intervention as acceptable, feasible, and were willing to implement FW-PBIS practices. Staff members also reported gains in sense of efficacy in their roles. Results are discussed in terms of limitations of the current study, future research, and practice needs.

在安全的青少年矫正环境中实施设施范围内的积极行为干预和支持：评估研究的结果

在这项研究中，我们评估了在安全的青少年设施中实施积极行为干预和支持 (PBIS) 的适应性方法的可行性和社会有效性。作者开发了一个全面的设施范围积极行为干预和支持 (FW-PBIS) 模型，用于安全的少年惩教设施，包括拘留和长期，以及国营和私营。FW-PBIS 领导团队成员包括所有主要设施角色（教育、惩戒、心理健康、医疗、娱乐），参与了员工发展活动，并在研究过程中实施了提倡的方法。我们在 50 个安全的青少年设施的重复测量评估研究中评估了 FW-PBIS 的保真度、可行性和社会有效性。我们使用经过修改的全校评估工具版本收集了干预保真度数据，以反映安全青少年设施的独特功能。我们还从设施中收集了行为事件数据，但由于各州在数据收集、定义/分类和存储系统方面存在巨大差异，因此无法跨站点合并这些数据。结果表明，所有参与的设施都能够达到可接受的 FW-PBIS 实施保真度。工作人员将干预评为可接受、可行并愿意实施 FW-PBIS 实践。工作人员还报告说，他们在发挥作用时的效能感有所提高。结果根据当前研究的局限性、未来研究和实践需求进行了讨论。
