Dennis McBride, Ph.D. The Washington Institute(253) 756-2335dmcb@u.washington.edu Goal Driven Logic Models
A System Interconnecting parts function as a whole Changed or damaged if you add or remove pieces Arrangement is crucial Parts are connected and only work together Behavior depends on total structure. Change the structure and behavior changes. A Heap A collection of parts Essential properties unchanged if you add or remove pieces Arrangement is irrelevant Parts are not connected and can function separately Behavior (if any) depends on size, or number of pieces Systems and Heaps Adapted from CDC
Describes the elements of a program Describes the chain of plausible linkages between those elements Show the sequence between program activities and expected outcomes Purpose of a Logic Model
Logic Model A graphic representation that shows logical relationships between inputs, outputs and outcomes relative to a situation S I T U A T I O N INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES Adapted from UW Extension Adapted from UW Extension
Logic Model INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES • Programmatic • investments Short Medium Long term Activities Participation What we do Who we reach What we invest What results Adapted from UW Extension
PLANNING INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES • Programmatic • investments Short Medium Long term Activities Participation EVALUATION Adapted from UW Extension
INPUTS STAFF MONEY TIME VOLUNTEERS PARTNERS EQUIPMENT Adapted from UW Extension
OUTPUTS What we doWho we reach ACTIVITIES Service Delivery Workshops Counseling Facilitation Curriculum design Trainings Conferences PARTICIPATION Participants Clients Customers Users Consumers Adapted from UW Extension
OUTCOMES What results for individuals, businesses, communities..… SHORT Learning Awareness Knowledge Attitudes Skills Opinion Aspirations Motivation MEDIUM Action Behavior Practice Decisions Policies Social action LONG-TERM Conditions Human Economic Civic Environment Adapted from UW Extension
Problem/ Issue
Problem /Issue A condition that requires action (e.g., social or health). Goal A statement of an ideal or hoped for state or condition. It is usually general and abstract. Objectives Statements of specific, achievable, and measurable desired accomplishments of a program that are derived from the goal. Definitions
Outcome Objectives Statements that specify the desirable results of an intervention. Process Objectives Statements that identify the steps to be taken (activities/interventions) toward accomplishing a desired end (outcome). Examples are service delivery, recruitment, instruction, referral. Definitions: Objectives
Specific Measurable Achievable Related to the goal Time Limited
Inputs are resources a program uses to achieve program objectives. Activities are what a program does with its inputs-the services it provides-to fulfill its mission. Outputs are the products of program activities and are measured in terms of what was done, how it was done, and who received it. Definitions: Process
Outcomes Benefits or changes for individual or populations during or after participation in program activities. They are influenced by a program’s outputs. Short-term Example: an increase in intention to use condoms due to a sex education intervention. Intermediate Outcomes Example: an increase in condom use due to a sex education intervention. Long-termOutcomes Example: a decrease in STD rates due to a sex education intervention. Definitions: Outcomes
OUTCOME LINKAGE EXAMPLE 1 Teen Parenting Program Coordinated Case Management Increased Services (Output) Decrease in Increased Financial Repeat Independence Pregnancies (Intermediate) (LongTerm)
OUTCOME LINKAGE EXAMPLE 2 Pregnancy/STD Prevention Program Small group sessions /advocacy /referral Increase knowledge/ decrease sexual activity intent, increase intent to use contraceptives (Process) (Short Term Outcome) Decrease in Sexual Decrease in Pregnancy Activity and/or Increase Rates/STDs in Effective (Long Term Outcome) Contraceptive Use (Intermediate Outcome)
Identify the problem or issue that the program will address Identify the ultimate goal of the program in addressing the problem The objectives lead to the conduct of a variety of activities (intervention, training, service delivery) Each activity is assumed to result in short-term outcomes The short-term outcomes lead to intermediate outcomes The intermediate outcomes lead to long-term outcomes Long-term outcomes should have an impact on the ultimate program goal Developing a Logic Model
The adolescent pregnancy rate and STI/STD rate in Washington State is increasing. A needs assessment points to pockets of “high risk” youth 13-16 years of age that are especially vulnerable and are accounting for a disproportionate share of these rates. The Department of Health wants to address this issue by funding “client focused” prevention interventions targeting these populations in the state. A RFP is sent out and your team will respond. Develop a simple logic model that “maps” your response. Problem/Issue
Logic Model: Client Centered Program Goal Outcome Objectives Intervention (Process) Short-term Outcomes Intermediate Outcomes Long-term Outcomes A statement of an ideal or hoped for state or condition. It is usually general and abstract. Statements that specify the desirable results of an intervention that are derived from the goal. • Statements that identify the steps to be taken toward accomplishing a desired end (outcome). • Inputs • Activities • Interventions Short term benefits or changes for participants that are influenced by a program’s outputs. (e.g., Knowledge, Attitudes, Intention) Intermediate benefits or changes for participants that are influenced by a program’s outputs and follow short term outcomes. (e.g., Behavior). Long term benefits or changes for participants that are influenced by a program’s outputs, follow intermediate outcomes and impact the target population. • Outputs are the products of program activities and are measured in terms of what was done, how it was done, and who received it.
