Instructions:

A logic model is a type of planning model. For your assignment this week you will utilize the following template from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and complete a logic model for your proposed intervention. Logic models are used to "present and share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your intervention, the activities you plan, and the changes or results you hope to achieve." (W.K. Kellogg Foundation 2004). A logic model is a great way to show the connections between the different sections of the final project you completed last week (see below).

The first few pages of the template provides you with instructions. Make sure to input your information where it says “Enter Data Here”.

Proposed Intervention:

A behavioral intervention that will help fill the gap of the homeless youth within the United States must incorporate measures aimed at improving the condition of the youth within the streets. First, the condition of the street plays a very big role on the conducts of the homeless youth with regard to the activities that spreads the deadly HIV disease. The homeless youth are independently responsible for their actions, thus, engage in the HIV causing activities due to lack of knowledge on the deadly disease. Therefore, the health workers should utilize the social cognition model to ensure adequate education to the homeless youth about the deadly HIV viral infection by gathering them together5. This will help promote positive behavior among the homeless youth with regard to the deadly HIV viral infection, thus, the gap created in the infectious pandemic will be filled.

Consequently, based on the lifestyle exhibited by the homeless youth within the streets, they are unable to access relevant information with regard to the deadly HIV infection. This negatively influences their sexual habits and the youth often play sex without using protective gargets5. Thus, the heath service provides should use the multiple domain models to effective ensure protective measures among the youth among the youth. They should also inform the homeless youth on how the protective gargets are supposed to be used. This will ensure a positive response to the behavioral conducts of the homeless youth in engaging sex without using protective measures, thus, the gap will be successfully filled.
