Problem Statement Key Strategies Formative Outcomes (Process)

Intermediate Outcomes Long‐Term Outcomes

The community needs and problems our program addresses include:

In order to address our community needs, we propose to achieve the following strategies:

We expect that once completed or underway these strategies will produce the following evidence of success in program implementation:

We expect that if completed or ongoing these strategies will lead to the following changes in 1‐3 years:

We expect that if completed these strategies will lead to the following changes in 4‐6 years:

In the GV School District and our alternative schools, we have higher rates of underage drinking. 

Normative behaviors, including adult expectations that youth drinking is part of normal experimentation, a natural part of growing up,  fail to intervene in underage drinking and in some cases, encourage it.

Youth in GV believe that alcohol is less harmful than other substances, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines.

Youth in GV have easy access to alcohol; the most common source is provision of alcohol by adults, siblings, and retail theft.

NEO New Generation Downtown:

Regular youth‐driven events in downtown areas in which there is currently widespread underage drinking.

Youth Outreach and Training:

Peer Advocates trained to conduct outreach to fellow adolescents who may be engaged in risky behavior with education and linkages to other STOP Act resources.

Overtime:

Friday night event offering an alternative to parties which are the site of abundant underage drinking.

Increase in after school and evening activities for youth grades 6‐12

Peer Advocates provide educational presentations to 200 youth per year on the harms of alcohol use

Peer Advocates refer 1000 youth to NEO events, Overtime, the SAP, and treatment

Overtime is offered 25 times per year

Increased participation in Peer Related Alternative activities by 50%

Increased participation of at‐risk youth at alternative events

Popularity of AOD‐Free Events increases

Increase in youth‐initiated AOD‐Free Events

Youth recognize the harms of alcohol use

Youth feel connected to community

Adults’ perceptions of youth changes

Change of cultural norms

Peer pressure reverses – youth pressure friend to NOT drink

Decrease in problem behaviors in middle school aged children

Age of onset of alcohol use is delayed

Decrease in underage binge drinking

Decrease in underage drinking

WHAT IS A LOGIC MODEL?

• A logic model is a diagram of how the resources of the program lead to the desired impacts in the target population.

$ ∆

$ ∆

It shows the relationshipsbetween investments/resources, activities, and results.

It provides a common approach for integrating planning, implementation, evaluation and reporting.

WHAT A LOGIC MODEL IS NOT

1. It is not reality. Is a simple model that represents program intention.

2. It is not complete. It does not display many cultural, social, and environmental factors that influence process and outcomes outside the program

3. Does not prove causal attribution of the intervention to the change

4. It is not a Theory of Change. But it relies on a social theory or other theory of change.

5. Doesn’t address: Are we doing the right thing?

Impact Model Logic Model

LOGIC MODELS ANDTHEORIES OF CHANGE

$ ∆

We anchor a logic model to a Theory of Change that provides rationale for how that set of activities can lead to that set of short-term outcomes, and how those outcomes can lead to long-term outcomes or impacts.

Theory of Change

A logic model displays the relationship betweenactivities and outcomes, but it does not guarantee that the relationship is meaningful, strong, or true.

A THEORY OF CHANGEPROVIDES RATIONALE

Improved nutritional health

Program provides cooking classes to teens

Learn and practice menu planning & cooking skills Teens eat

better

Gain knowledge of healthy foods and shopping tips

Receive nutritious free food for family

Teens cook for family weekly

It provides rationale for the arrows in a logic model.

It is the scientific or other basis for the “logic” in the logic model.

SOCIAL THEORIES OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE

• The Health Belief Model: perceived susceptibility, seriousness, benefits of taking action, barriers to action, cues to action

• Stages of Change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, maintenance, action

• Locus of Control: internal locus of control, powerful others locus of control (health is determined by others), chance locus of control (it's all fate or chance).

• Social Learning Theory: Response consequences (such as rewards or punishments) influence the likelihood that a person will perform a particular behavior again in a given situation. Humans can learn by observing others, in addition to learning by participating in an act personally. Individuals are most likely to model behavior observed by others they identify with.

THE HEALTH BELIEF MODEL

• Perceived susceptibility • Perceived seriousness• Perceived benefits of taking action• Reduce barriers to action• Cues to action

Source: http://hsc.usf.edu/~kmbrown/hlth_beh_models.htm

IMPACT MODEL BASED ON A SOCIAL THEORYStaff distribute info cards in neighborhood about diabetes.

Senior residents become aware of their risk for diabetes (perceived susceptibility)

25 seniors are recruited for 3 workshops

Participants learn of the benefits of taking action

Seniors become aware of the seriousness of diabetes

Wkshop 2: Physician/nurse talk about how early dx and tx can reduce effects

Risk for diabetes is reduced

Wkshop 3: Nutritionists demonstrate easy to prepare, healthful meals; food tasting competition

Wkshop 1: Guest speakers with diabetes talk about their health problems

People learn how to prepare tasty, healthful meals (barriers reduced)

Staff send monthly newsletter with reminders, new recipes

Seniors’ nutrition is improved

Seniors prepare meals based on newsletter guidelines (cues to action)

FORMATS FOR LOGIC MODELS

Second Quarter

NO ONE RIGHT WAY

• There is no one right way to format a logic model.

• There are (at least) 5 ways to format a logic model that makes it hard for others to understand.

EVERYTHING LEADS TO EVERYTHING

The “Everything leads to everything” format puts all activities in one column, all outputs in another, all outcomes in another, and so forth.

Activities Outputs Outcomes Outcomes ImpactSTAFF WILL PROVIDE PARTICIPANTS WITH:

Mentor/ mentee relationships

Workshops on personal development

Meetings with African American role models

Community Education Trainings

Opportunity for participation in Health Department meetings

Participants increase leadership skills

Participants engage in healthier behaviors and reduce risk for HIV

Participants will achieve a greater hope for future success

Participants educate community members about HIV and other diseases

Increase in African American leadership in health-related fields

Reduction in health disparities among African American residents in Berkeley

EVERYTHING LEADS TO EVERYTHING

• What is difficult about this format:It is a bit “old school” Kellogg. Logic model format has evolved in the past several years.

This format does not well use a strength of logic and impact models: the ability to show which inputs or activities lead to which outcomes.

EVERYTHING LEADS EVERY WHICH WAY

The “Everything leads every which way” format is a jumble of boxes and arrows.

Especially arrows.

PRIMARY ACTIVITIES PROCESS OUTCOMES

EVERYTHING LEADS EVERY WHICH WAY

• What is difficult about this format:

It would take a lot of dedication and concentration to slog through this format to fully understand what the program designer’s logic is.

It does differentiate which activities lead to which outcomes, but the paths are hard to follow.

THE MORE SAID THE BETTER

The “More said the better” format includes many, many activities and outcomes.

(The example shows only one of the three pages developed for this program. The program consists of one full-time staff member and several part time outreach workers.)

Children demonstrate

knowledge of how to use materials in backpacks

THE MORE SAID THE BETTER

• What is difficult about this format:

It would take a lot of dedication and concentration to slog through this format to fully understand what the program designer’s logic is.

It includes many operational details and many outcomes that are not very important. Some outcomes could be effectively combined.

A FEW WORDS EXPLAIN EVERYTHING

The “Few words explain everything” format includes a few verbs and objects.

This format often incorporates more shapes and colors than concepts.

A FEW WORDS EXPLAIN EVERYTHING

• What is difficult about this format:

More time was spent by the graphic artist than the program designer, it would appear, from this presentation.

The reader does not know who does what to achieve the very big impacts.

EXUBERANT USE OF COLORENHANCES UNDERSTANDING

The “Exuberant use of color enhances understanding” format strikes the eye with many bold, bright colors.

EXUBERANT USE OF COLORENHANCES UNDERSTANDING

• What is difficult about this format:

The eye is drawn to the color, and not the meaning.

This format does not print well in black and white, and much critical meaning is lost without the color.

TIPS ON WRITING A LOGIC MODEL

1. A logic model should be easy to read and to understand by stakeholders who are only somewhat familiar with your program.

2. Make it clear who does what and who receives what. Subject – verb – object

3. Decide which columns your model needs: Resources/inputs may not be necessary; Activities and outputs may be duplicative.

4. Achieve a balance between showing enough detail and not too much detail.

Provider agencies serve a total of 74 high risk men age 18 to 24 years with wraparound services, 20 of whom are new this fiscal year. ***

54 continuing men in wraparound services.

Partners gain awareness of the couple’s inherent strengths, and are able to identify informal supports in their community.

Partners and clients increase knowledge of the social, emotional and physical needs of young men.

Partnership functioning increases (e.g., housing, finances; and decreased conflict and isolation).

Young men at risk are identified early.*

Men receive necessary services and support to reduce the effects of risk-taking behaviors and chronic mental health conditions on their relationships with partners and family.*

Men at risk remain in supportive relationships.

Partners have healthy relationships with the men with mental health and

20 new men enroll into wraparound services

Wraparound facilitator and client’s family/ partners set goals with the client and works with the client until goals are met.

360 facilitated client-partner meetings.

Instances of client risk-taking (e.g., drug abuse and unprotected sex ) are reduced.

By June 30, 2012, 75% of partners of clients have knowledge of positive support practices.

By June 30, 2012, 50% of clients reduce their identified risk-taking behavior.

SHOULD WE STATE THE EXPECTEDAMOUNT OF OUTCOME / OBJECTIVE?

Outcome objectives should include a benchmark or expected amount of change.A minimum of 75% of the estimated 45 participants in the

prevention services program will choose infant feeding options that minimize risk of transmission through breast feeding.

Opinion varies among people who use Logic Models about whether to put the expected amount of change for outcomes in the Logic Model. I recommend not to.
