  1. Program Planning: Purpose Statements, Goals, Objectives and Logic Models

  2. Purpose Statements

  3. Can be used for: • Mission statements • Program Description • As a first step in the development of Performance Measures

  4. Purpose Statement Template The purpose of the ________________________ (name of service, program or line of business) is to provide (or produce)______________________ (service or product -what) for _______________________________________ (customer - who ) so that____________________________________ (RESULT / benefit - why)

  5. Program Purpose Statement The purpose of the Nutrition Public Health Practice Program is to provide planning, coordination, demonstration and policy development assistance to communities. So thatthey can develop, implement, and evaluate programs and policies to promote nutrition and physical fitness behavior change.

  6. Goals

  7. Goals: • Identify & clarify what you want to do or achieve • Define what needs to be accomplished without getting bogged down in issues of measurement and timing • Are described with an action verb & a noun phrase

  8. Healthy People 2020 Goals • Attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death. • Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups. • Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all. • Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages.

  9. Objectives

  10. Many Kinds of Objectives • Learning • Process • Outcome • Others

  11. Program Planning Objectives • Outcome Objective: a statement of the amount of change expected for a specified population within a given time frame. • Process Objective: a statement that measures the amount of change expected in the performance and utilization of interventions that impact on the outcome.

  12. Outcome Objectives Are…... • Long term • Realistic • Measurable: • levels of mortality, morbidity, disability • levels of health conditions • behavioral measures

  13. Examples of Outcome Objectives & Measures from Healthy People 2020Nutrition & Weight Status

  14. Healthier Food Access NWS–1 State nutrition standards for child care NWS–2 Nutritious foods and beverages offered outside of school meals NWS–3 State-level incentive policies for food retail NWD–4 Retail access to foods recommended by Dietary Guidelines for Americans

  15. Health Care and Worksite Settings NWS–5 Primary care physicians who measure patients’ body mass index (BMI) NWS–6 Physician office visits with nutrition or weight counseling or education NWS–7 Worksite nutrition and weight management classes and counseling

  16. Weight Status NWS–8 Healthy weight in adults NWS–9 Obesity in adults NWS–10 Obesity in children and adolescents NWS–11 Inappropriate weight gain

  17. Food Insecurity NWS–12 Food insecurity among children NWS–13 Food insecurity among households

  18. Food and Nutrient Consumption NWS–14 Fruit intake NWS–15 Vegetable intake NWS–16 Whole grain intake NWS–17 Solid fat and added sugar intake NWS–18 Saturated fat intake NWS–19 Sodium intake NWS–20 Calcium intake

  19. Iron Deficiency NWS–21 Iron deficiency in young children and in females of childbearing age NWS–22 Iron deficiency in pregnant females

  20. Nutrition Related Objectives in Other Categories

  21. Eliminate Very Low Food Security Among Children

  22. Process Objectives Are…….. • Short-term • Realistic • Measurable • Related to outcome measures • there may be several process measures for one outcome measure

  23. Example of Process Objectives • By December 2002, 40 female students who seek services at the teen health center will receive brief counseling interventions from the clinic nurse about use of folic acid supplements to prevent NTD.

  24. Logic Models

  25. What is a Logic Model? • Tool for program planning and evaluation • Picture of a program • Graphic representation of “theory of action” • Relationship between what we put in (inputs), what we do (outputs), and what results (outcomes) • Logical chain of if-then relationships

  26. Why Develop Logic Models? • Visual displays are effective learning instruments for all involved • Shows why planned actions are likely to lead to desired results • Assures that process is not overlooked in evaluation • Enhances ability to use on-going evaluation for mid-course corrections

  27. Logic Models Promote a Shared Vision • Provide common language and reference point for all involved • Fundamental purpose is clear • Role of actions are clear • Desired results at each step are clear

  28. Step 1: Determine Scope • Can be good overview of whole program • Smaller pieces of program can be shown in more detail

  29. Step 2: Identify Components • Inputs: what you do to make the program possible, resources applied • Outputs: what happens during the implementation • Outcomes: the direct result of your program activities

  30. Step 3: Draft Model • Should be single page • “Landscape” layout • Write left to right, not top to bottom • Use thin lines, don’t alter thickness • Avoid abbreviations • Use simple font, avoid italics • Show “if - then” visually

  31. Step 4: Develop Evaluation Indicators • Process: measure activities • ex: numbers of trainings, meetings, technical assistance provided • Outcome: measure short, medium, and long term outcomes • ex: increased understandings, behavior change, health outcomes

  32. Good Indicators Are….. • Relevant • Measurable • Available or collectable • Acceptable to participants, planners, funders and other stakeholders

  33. Framing Evaluation Questions http://www.wkkf.org/knowledge-center/resources/2010/Logic-Model-Development-Guide.aspx

  34. Step 5: Revisit the Model Frequently • Lay indicator data directly onto model • Determine what’s working and what isn’t • Modify model if change theory isn’t working • Modify activities if unable to complete as planned

  35. Group Work • Use the purpose statement template to describe the purpose of your project • Develop a logic model for your project • Develop at least one process objective and indicate where it fits on the logic model • Develop at least one outcome objective and indicate where it fits on the logic model
