La fidelidad de la implementación hace referencia al grado con el que una intervención se aplica tal y como se ha diseñado. Implementar las intervenciones basadas en la evidencia empírica con una elevada fidelidad constituye un aspecto clave en la diseminación de programas a contextos reales, puesto que los efectos de los programas disminuyen cuando los programas se ejecutan sin una adecuada adherencia al protocolo diseñado. En este estudio se define el concepto de fidelidad y las dimensiones que lo componen. A su vez, se revisan los aspectos más relevantes relacionados con la fidelidad en la implementación de programas de prevención escolar para el consumo de drogas. Por último, se discute la importancia de aumentar nuestro conocimiento sobre el proceso de implementar las innovaciones de la ciencia en la práctica cotidiana.

Abstract
Implementation fidelity refers to the degree to wich an intervention is delivered as intended. Implement evidence-based interventions with high fidelity is a key issue in the dissemination of programs to real life contexts, since the effects of the programs diminish when programs are implemented with poor fidelity to the protocol designed. This study defines the concept of fidelity and its component dimensions. In turn, we review the most relevant aspects related to implementation fidelity of school-based substance use prevention programs. Finally, it is discuss the importance of increasing our knowledge about the process of implementing the innovations of science in daily practice.
