Learning to Love Your Logic Model

In this recorded webinar, Tom Chapel, Chief Evaluation Officer of the CDC, provides an overview of the purpose of logic models, how to use them, and common logic model components.

Summary from the CDC website:

It’s fun to make fun of logic models. While some of the criticism is justified, much is directed at a caricature of logic models that no model fan would recognize. In this webinar we’ll remind you:

• why a program description is essential,
• how drawing a picture is the best way to describe your program, and
• how a simple and practical logic model is the most effective picture of all. 

Using some simple examples, we’ll show that “form follows function”; not all logic models need to look alike, nor even include all the myriad terms in play. But we’ll also dissect terms like “output”, “input”, and “moderator” so you better understand when to include them and the value they may add to your program description.

Follow these steps, and you’ll create a practical logic model, minimizing eyes-glazing, pain, and logic model fatigue.
