DescriptionThis archival project examines the validity of the Fidelity Assessment Common Ingredients Tool (FACIT) and its relationship to empowerment and satisfaction with people who have psychiatric disabilities and attended Peer Operated Service Programs (POSP) in New Jersey. Participants completed the Making Decisions Empowerment Scale (MDES), Personal Empowerment Scale (PES) and the Self-Help Agency Satisfaction Scale (SHASS). FACIT scores from each POSP were obtained from a related project and were used to assess whether the FACIT measures empowerment and satisfaction which are key elements of peer run services. Canonical correlational analysis was used between the three scales and the six domains of the FACIT which consist of structure, environment, belief principle, peer support, education, and advocacy. It was hypothesized that if the FACIT is a valid instrument measuring how well a program is adhering to the peer model, then there should be a positive relationship between the measures used and the domains of the FACIT. Two analyses were completed. One had an even amount of cases per POSP (N =180), and the other had an uneven number of cases (N = 206). A statistical significant relationship was found between the uneven cases and the first canonical function of empowerment and satisfaction with the six subscales of the FACIT. Further examination of the canonical weights and cross weights determined that the relationship was weak. There was no statistical significance found in the analysis of the even cases indicating a possible Type I error may have occurred. The FACIT appears to focus more on structure and organization instead of empowerment and satisfaction. More research is needed to determine if the FACIT measures other elements of POSP services. The FACIT is difficult to use and there is little evidence of widespread use by POSP. Creating a more user-friendly fidelity tool for POSP could help improve services and ensure that the elements that are essential to POSP services are being implemented.
