Maternal/Child Health 6b

This week you will develop a Logic Model that clearly depicts what your project intends to do or accomplish. Your logic model should be a one page simple visual similar to the examples presented in the resources below: 

· Pell Institute: Using a Logic Model Toolkit and Example-http://toolkit.pellinstitute.org/evaluation-guide/plan-budget/using-a-logic-model/

· CDC: Components of a Logic Model and Example- https://www.cdc.gov/std/Program/pupestd/Components%20of%20a%20Logic%20Model.pdf

Logic models are used to "present and share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your program, the activities you plan, and the changes or results you hope to achieve." (W.K. Kellogg Foundation 2004) You will be presenting your problem to a foundation or coalition and proposing ways it can be addressed. A logic is a great way to show the connections between the different sections of your presentation/project. 

Your logic model should include the following sections: 

· Inputs: Identify the resources needed to implement the intervention.

· Activities (Proposed interventions from Week 4): Identify actions that will be used to achieve the intended results.

· Outputs: Identify the direct results of intervention activities. Here you will link the activities you propose to your affected population. What did your activity actually produce? 

· Outcomes: Identify the change that occurs between the inputs and the outputs. The immediate changes that occurred in participants. 

· Impact: Identify the longer term or systematic change that will occur as a result. 

Please reference the CDC and Pell Institute resources above for more information on the different sections of a logic model.

Rubric

	Exemplary
Inputs	Identifies the resources needed to implement the intervention
Activities	Identifies actions that will be used to achieve the intended results
Outputs	Identifies program goals and who the activities will reach
Outcomes	Identifies the short term results of the activity, in other words the change that occurred between the inputs and the outcomes.
Impact	Identifies the longer term or systematic change that will occur as a result
Logic Model Flow	Logic Model flows appropriately and smoothly so that if...then statements can be inserted between logic model categories. For example, if these resources were present then these activities could occur. If these activities occur then these outputs will result. If these outputs result then these outcomes will happen. If these outcomes happen then this impact will be made.
