Logic modeling

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.” said the Cat.

Models

Planning Models

Like a road map Present all possible routes you might take

to develop, implement, and evaluate a program.

Planning Models

PRECEDE/PROCEED

MATCH

CDCynergy

PRECEDE/PROCEED Model

MATCH (Multilevel Approach To Community Health)

Developed in late 1980s

Used by U.S. Government

Applied when behavioral & environmental risk & protective

factors for disease / injury are known & general priorities

determined

Includes ecological planning – levels of influence

MATCH

CDCynergy• Developed by the Office of Communication

at the CDC in 1997

• First issued in 1998

• Developed initially for public health professionals at CDC with responsibilities for health communication

• Developed for health communication but can be used with all health promotion planning

• Available on CD-ROM; many versions

(Pearson Ed, 2012)

P 1: Describe Problem (identify & define)

P 2: Analyze Problem (causes, goals, intervention strategies

P 3: Plan Intervention (Is communication dominant or supportive?)

P 4: Develop Intervention

P 5: Plan Evaluation

P 6: Implement Plan

Logic Models

Provides a picture of how your program works

Gives logical chain of connections showing what your program will accomplish

A series of “if-then” relationships

Situation

What is the present problem?

Influential Factors

What factors may impact the program? Within the person Environment

Assumptions

Client is honest in providing information

Client will make a good faith effort to change practices or habits

Resources / Inputs

What is invested to the program: Staff expertise, time, money/funding,

materials, equipment, partners

Outputs (activities + participation)

Activities: what is done (events or actions)Workshops, meetings, counseling,

training, assessments, curriculum development

Outputs(activities + participation)
