Logic Models
Brittnee Hawkins, Ellen Taylor-Powell, and Goldie MacDonald.
This Library Guide includes a selection of open-access materials on logic models from a variety of public health activities, domestic and international. A logic model is a graphic representation of a program that shows the relationship between resources (inputs) and results (outcomes). The authors selected each item based on established criteria for high-quality logic models. The LibGuide includes materials in four categories: Logic Models for Program Planning and Implementation, Logic Models for Program Evaluation, Developing Logic Models, and Instructional Materials.
