Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used for the degree to which the specified treatment is successfully developed and deployed is treatment integrity. It refers to the extent to which the treatment is implemented as intended, which involves training therapists to deliver the treatment and verifying that the treatment was delivered as it should be. Therefore, option B - treatment integrity - is the correct answer. The other options, clinical significance, treatment modules, and evidence-based treatment effects, do not directly refer to the process of developing and deploying a treatment with adequate validity.
