Developing and Using a Logic Model

Logic models are tools for planning, describing, managing, communicating, and evaluating a program or intervention.

Logic models increase the likelihood that program efforts will be successful because they:

Communicate the purpose of the program and expected results.
Describe the actions expected to lead to the desired results.
Become a reference point for everyone involved in the program.
Improve program staff expertise in planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Involve stakeholders, enhancing the likelihood of resource commitment.
Incorporate findings from other research and demonstration projects.
Identify potential obstacles to program operation so that staff can address them early on.
