  1. Twin Cities Coalition on Healthy Youth A Brief Overview on: Logic Models

  2. CADCA Logic Model Template:

  3. Logic Model Terminology: • Logic Model: • A framework that shows the relationship between ultimate aim (long-term outcomes) and strategies and activities used to get there. Summarizes key elements, reveals rationale to approach, articulates intended outcomes and how they’re measured, and shows cause effect relationship between your program and intended outcomes. • Goal: • General statement of intent or purpose. Should support vision statement. Long term result you hope to achieve. • Impacts: • Measure if you’ve achieved your goal • Indicators: • Signals that let you know you’ve achieved your outcome. A substitute measure for a concept that is not directly observable or measurable, e.g. prejudice or substance abuse.

  4. Logic Model Terminology (cont.): • Objective: • Measurable statements of expected changes in risks, assets, policies or underlying conditions. Should include time frame, desired change, degree of change and who will change. • Outcome: • Changes that occur in the target population and are results of your intervention. Broken into 3 categories: • Short-term/immediate-These outcomes generally measure whether the program has been implemented as intended. • Intermediate outcomes-Generally measure changes in risk and protective factors, e.g. improvements in communication, peer resistance, or critical thinking skills. • Long term outcomes-Measures changes in ATOD indicators, e.g. increased perception of risk of ATOD use, decreased availability of alcohol, etc. • Problem/Need Statement: • Based on analyses of ATOD problem or indicator data, reflects local conditions that contribute to problems as identified by data. Should reflect problems you have chosen to work on based on reviewing all of the ATOD data and prioritizing which problems to address with limited resources • Target Population: • The group that will benefit from intervention and exhibit the desired change

  5. Logic Model Terminology (Cont.): • Theory of Change: • Should reflect the core elements of your intervention. It indicates a path or string of strategies that if implemented as designed should produce the desired outcomes. A theory of Change should reflect the science-based evidence of your proposed intervention (the research behind why the program works).

  6. Problem Statement: • The “Problem Statement is divided into three parts; the first is the: Problem: Based on the analyses of the ATOD problem or indicator data.

  7. Problem Statement (cont.): • The second part of the Problem Statement is the “Root Cause”: Root: Problem: Root: Root: On the CADCA Template, this is the “But Why?”

  8. Problem Statement (cont.): • The Third part of the Problem Statement is the “Local Condition”: Local Condition Root: Local Condition Problem: Local Condition Local Condition Root: Local Condition Local Condition Local Condition Root: Local Condition Local Condition On the CADCA Template, this is the “But Why Here?”

  9. Strategies/Interventions: Strategies Strategies Local Condition (But Why Here?) Strategies Strategies Local Condition (But Why Here?) The seven CADCA Strategies are: Local Condition (But Why Here?) Local Condition (But Why Here?)

  10. Strategies: 1. Providing Information: Educational presentations, workshops or seminars, and data or media presentations (e.g., public service announcements, brochures, billboard campaigns, community meetings, town halls, forums, Web-based communication)

  11. Strategies: 2. Building Skills: Workshops, seminars or activities designed to increase the skills of the community members, such as youth, parents and citizens (e.g., training, parenting classes, evidence-based prevention programs for youth)

  12. Strategies: 3. Providing Support: Creating opportunities that reduce risk or enhance protection. (e.g., providing alternative activities, mentoring, support groups, Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous)

  13. Strategies: 4. Barriers & Access Improving community and service delivery processes to increase the ease, ability and opportunity for community members to access and use the services. Any action that makes access to desired behaviors easier or less effortful. OR Increasing the difficulty to access undesired behaviors

  14. Strategies: 5. Consequences/ Incentives: Using incentives and disincentives to alter consequences of a specific behavior. (e.g., increasing public recognition for deserved behavior, individual and business rewards, taxes, citations, fines, revocation/loss of privileges).

  15. Strategies: 6. Physical Design of the Environment: Altering the physical structure of the community so individuals are less likely to engage in substance abuse. (e.g., creating parks, improving landscapes, limiting alcohol advertising and signage, improving lighting, decreasing outlet density).

  16. Strategies: 7. Modifying/ Changing Policy Working to create formal and informal changes in written procedures, by-laws, proclamations, rules, or laws with written documentation and/or voting procedures. (e.g., public policy actions, systems change within government, communities and organizations

  17. Interventions: • The interventions used will based on the strategies and will be on and individual basis. • e.g., if the Problem was “Binge Drinking”, the Root Cause “Ease of Access”, the Local Condition is “Many unsupervised underage drinking parties”, the Strategy used is “Modifying/Changing Policy”, then the Intervention might be: • Instituting a “Social Host Accountability Ordinance”

  18. Outcomes: • Short-Term Outcomes: • As a general rule of thumb, they directly measure changes in the “Local Condition” (“But Why Here?). Typically collected on a monthly or quarterly basis, short-term outcomes are potentially influenced within 6-24 months.

  19. Outcomes: • Intermediate Outcomes: • As a general rule of thumb, they directly measures in the “Root Causes” (But Why?). Typically collected on an annual basis, intermediate outcomes are potentially influenced within 1-4 years.

  20. Outcomes: • Long-Term Outcomes: • As a general rule of thumb, they directly measure changes in the “Problem Statement”. Typically collected on an annual basis, long-term outcomes show evidence of population-level behavior changes and are potentially influenced in 3-10 years.
