Three Commonalities:
The first commonality between the CDC manual and the PRECEDE/PROCEED model is that at the end, the both focus on whether or not the program achieved its target.
The second commonality between them is they both take into consideration the positive and negative effects of the program and what they need to do different because of them.
The third commonality is they both have an implementation/process portion. This part of the model and manual focuses on whether that which was intended is actually happening and why it is or isn't.

Three points of divergence:
The first difference between the model and the manual is that the manual has a focus on cost-effectiveness whereas the PRECEDE/PROCEED model does not specifically address that portion.
The second difference is that the manual is much more complicated than the model. The model is a little more broad and has a direction to follow, while the manual is more specific and has much more that goes into it.
The third difference between the two is the manual is pictured as a continuum with the standards in the middle of it, while the model has a direction that starts at quality of life, works backward, and then back to quality of life for the evaluation. It could be argued that this makes them similar because they start and end in the same place, but the difference in them is how they are modeled and explained.
