There are several implementation intervention problems which make quality of the intervention degenerate in mental health research area especially aimed at immigrant children. So, I assume that the implementation intervention fidelity is a significant factor that may impact on the gaps between an intervention and outcomes. In general, implementation intervention fidelity is a key component for the well-structured implementation of evidence-based interventions in the real world settings. Since implementation intervention fidelity is a standard to understand how the intervention actually affects to outcomes, as well as how the intervention well succeeds, implementation intervention fidelity needs to be measured and evaluated (Fixen et al., 2009).

In general, every service and policy interventions are not equally provided to every individual, organization, and systems. And most of immigrant children are more vulnerable than native children in my opinion, so that well-structured implementation strategies are necessary to reduce mental health problems among immigrant chilren. Moreover, they may be not able to take many benefits from service intervention or policy interventions that they have experienced in socially complex setting not only before but also even after moving to the United States. Thus, effective innovations through the well-guided implementation intervention strategies can be changed to fit to the targeted social system. Thus, I suggest the Active Implementation Framework (AIF) as a recommended implementation guideline for providing the intervention program effectively to immigrant children so that can reduce the quality gap between research and practice and increase …show more content…
For providing the best-fitted intervention for my interest area, comprehensive implementation strategies need to be appropriate to effectively and efficiently support the innovative intervention. And the implementation strategies could build on the local capacity; include adequate recruitment; provide on-going training; support social workers and coaches who would facilitate the intervention; staff performance assessment; evaluate the organized plan that tells fidelity; integrative systems intervention; and be repeated the professional development experiences as everyday implementation efforts (Fixen et al., 2009). Using these implementation strategies, implementation teams directly help social workers to implement the intervention effectively. And Fixen et al. (2009) mentioned that these all implementation strategies can be categorized into three: competency, organization supports, and leadership. These three of integrated and compensatory categories interplay and support each other that make clients or target population happen with benefit as a
