Notes UFS-S = UPSIDES fidelity scale service user version, UFS-P = UPSIDES fidelity scale peer support worker version, M1 = model with two factors, factor implementation as factor of higher order, divided into sub-categories. Sub-categories in UFS-S: receipt, engagement, enactment, competence. Sub-categories in UFS-P: receipt, competence, communication. M2 = model with two factors (implementation and active ingredients), no sub-categories. χ2 = Chi-square index, df = Degrees of freedom, CFI = Comparative fit index, TLI = Tucker-Lewis index, RMSEA = Root mean square error of approximation, SRMR = Standardised root mean square residual. AIC = Aikaike information criterion, BIC = Bayesian information criterion. *** Comparison of AIC and BIC Model 1 vs. Model 2: χ2 difference test p < .001
