Document Summary
With more scrutiny of how public funds are being expended, increased demands for evidence-based programs, standards of practice, and national and international interest in population health intervention research, (planning, monitoring, and evaluation) have become even more critical. A classic planning-implementation-evaluation cycle involves the following steps: Conducting a situational analysis or community assessment. Considering possible solutions or actions to address the problem. Analyzing and interpreting results of the monitoring and evaluation process. Using the results to make modifications to the program or to inform decisions about other programs. Logic models provide a coherent structure for complex health programs, help to expose gaps, and yield an overview of programs with appealing visual clarity. The logic model provides a diagram of what the program is supposed to do, with whom, and why. Logic models should be developed in collaboration with community and academic partners. In this way, both experimental learning and research findings can inform model development.
