  1. OUTCOME MEASUREMENT TRAINING Logic Models

  2. OBJECTIVES FOR TODAY: • Recognize and understand components of a logic model • Learn how to create a logic model for a program • Begin to understand how to use collected data and logic models to evaluate a program

  3. WHY USE OUTCOMES? For programs: • Tell if the programs really makes a difference in the lives of people • Help programs improve services

  4. WHY USE LOGIC MODELS? Logic models = framework to examine outcomes. A logic model: • Shows differences & connections between what we do and impact we are having • Focuses on quality and continuous improvement

  5. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? “A program logic model is a description of how the program theoretically works to achieve benefits for participants.” United Way of America, Measuring Program Outcomes: A Practical Approach

  6. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? • A picture of the program • A simple representation of the program “theory” which explains what the program is to accomplish • A way to show relationships between what we put in, what we do, and what the results are

  7. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? • Sequence of “if-then” relationships • Core of program planning and evaluation University of Wisconsin - Extension Cooperative Extension

  8. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? INPUTS Resources a program uses to achieve program objectives including staff time, materials, money, equipment, facilities, volunteer time

  9. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? INPUTS ACTIVITIES What the program does with the inputs to fulfill its mission

  10. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? INPUTS ACTIVITIES OUTPUTS Products of program activities, such as classes taught, brochures distributed and participants served

  11. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? INPUTS ACTIVITIES OUTPUTS OUTCOMES Benefits for participants during and after program activities

  12. CREATING A LOGIC MODEL FOR A PROGRAM • Logic models are not difficult to develop • assess program components that already exist, and • apply them to achieve an intended outcome. • Logic models can be developed from • top-down • bottom-up

  13. WHAT ARE LOGIC MODELS? • Program - Series of organized activities & resources aimed to help people make improvements in their lives • Inputs - Resources a program uses to achieve program objectives including staff time, materials, money, etc. • Activities - What the program does with the inputs to fulfill its mission • Outputs - Products of program activities, such as classes taught, brochures distributed & participants served • Outcomes - Benefits for participants during and after program activities
