Describe the Logic Model
-uses a diagram
-involves stakeholders
-shows linear linkages towards outcomes
situation, inputs, outputs, outcomes
What are the two most commonly used models for health program planning?
program logic model and precede-proceed model
Describe the precede-proceed model
-comprehensive but complex with 9 phases
-precede– uses phases 1-5 for systematic planning and evaluation setting the direction and objectives of the program
-proceed– uses phases 6-9 in implementation and evaluation of health promotion and education interventions
What are the 2 assumptions of the precede-proceed model?
1) multiple factors create health risk/ health

Define SMART objectives
specific, measurable statements that identify the steps planned to reach the overall health program goal
specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time frame
What is a health program evaluation?
What is the major benefit of health program evaluation?
A systematic process that examines the intended and unintended impacts of a health program. An evaluation produces data to inform decision making about ways to support health programs and best use resources.
What are the steps for evaluating public health programs?
focus
choose
design or revise
collect and analyze
make decisions
What are the 2 types of program evaluation?
- Process/formative– used in program delivery while it is developing. Assesses the need for the program and focuses on key stakeholders and what the program does (for making program improvements)
- Outcome/summative– results or effects of program are the focus. Helps determine whether to continue, adjust or end the program. Is the program having its intended impact? What changed as a result of the program?
