Identifying the Components of a Logic Model
Identifying the Components of a Logic Model
What is a logic model?
Logic models can assist you in program evaluation by providing a picture of how your program is intended to work. It identifies your programs main components and how they should relate to one another. Logic models include process and outcome components.
Process Components of Model
(planning elements) Inputs (resources) Activities (program events or strategies)
Outputs (products of activities)
Examples
Funding, staff, materials
Patient testing and treatment, staff trainings
Number of patients treated, quality of trainings
Outcome Components of Model
(intended effects)
Short-Term Outcomes (immediate effects: weeks-months)
Intermediate Outcomes (intended effects that occur over the mid-term: months-years)
Long-Term Outcomes (long-term intended effects: years-decades)
Examples
Increased proportion of patients treated; changes in knowledge, skills, or beliefs
Increased proportion of partners treated; increased condom use; change in policies or behaviors
Reduced STD prevalence; changes in morbidity and/or mortality
The goals and process and outcome objectives that are related to your program should provide content for the process and outcome components of your logic model and vice versa.
For more information and examples, see Step 2.3 in the Practical Use of Program Evaluation among STD Programs manual.

Logic Models are useful:
? To build understanding and clarity about your program
? To identify resources needed for your program
? To identify the sequencing of activities that should be implemented
? To serve as a basis for program evaluation
Logic models are a good tool to help focus an evaluation to determine what to measure and what areas of your program might be most in need of evaluation. You can develop a logic model which depicts how an entire program operates (i.e. global) or focuses more closely on a component or specific activity (i.e. nested).
Example of Logic Model
Since it may not be feasible to evaluate the entire STD program, this example will refer to a program activity or component you might plan to evaluate (a nested logic model).
