AB  - BACKGROUND: The Evidence-Based Practice Identification and Change (EPIC) 
      intervention is a complex multifaceted knowledge translation strategy that 
      combines the use of evidence and continuous quality improvement to change health 
      care professional practices. However, there is no measure to evaluate the 
      fidelity (degree to which the intervention was implemented as planned) of the 
      EPIC intervention. AIM: To examine the content validity of the Process Evaluation 
      Checklist (PEC), a newly developed measure to assess the fidelity of the EPIC 
      intervention. METHODS: Eight health care professionals with experience in the 
      delivery of the EPIC intervention rated the importance/relevance of items in 
      assessing the scale/subscales of the PEC. A content validity index was computed 
      for each item (I-CVI) and for each scale/subscale (S-CVI) in the measure. 
      RESULTS: I-CVIs ranged from 0.6 to 1.0 and S-CVIs ranged from 0.3 to 1.0. Two 
      items were eliminated, while nine items were retained. CONCLUSIONS: Content 
      validity of the PEC was established. The PEC will be used to evaluate the 
      implementation fidelity of the EPIC intervention in future trials.
