OBJECTIVE: characterize the measurement of fidelity of mental health interventions for children in primary schools. Data were collected at the ERIC, LILACS, APA, PubMed, Scopus, SciELO and Web of Science databases. We included 45 empirical articles, published between 2007-2016, which were analyzed in relation to categories defined previously. The results indicate variations in the definition, dimensionality and form of fidelity measurement, with few indicators of validity and accuracy of the instruments, which may bias the evaluation of the implementation process and the internal validity of the results of the interventions.

Keywords : Guideline Adherence; Mental Health; Program Evaluation; Psychometrics.
