Description
Summary:The use of logic models in program development, evaluation, and dissemination is becoming more commonly accepted as a means of facilitating communication, replication, quality improvement, and assessment. Each of the following chapters in this book includes a logic model of the program being described. The purpose of this chapter is to describe what logic models are, and to convey to a diverse field the role and functioning of logic models in the conceptualization, delivery, management, and evaluation of programs. Since this volume is intended for a wide audience including service providers, program administrators, and researchers, we will attempt to provide information on logic models that is broadly useful. Therefore, this chapter is structured so that each of the four authors presents her/his unique perspective based principally on their own experience using logic models.
