Logic Models and Indicators

*Are you going to plan or evaluate a Fraser Health program (includes initiatives, interventions, processes)?

A logic model is the core of program planning and evaluation. It illustrates what the program is planned to do and accomplish. A logic model is a tool used to facilitate transparency during the planning/evaluation process, anticipate unintended consequences and guide the selection of outcomes. The workshop will cover basic components of logic models and you will learn how to develop one for your program.

By the end of the workshop, the learner will be able to:

• Describe how logic models are used to guide program planning and evaluation
• Describe the characteristics of effective logic models
• Write a SMART objective for your program to guide development of the logic model
• Identify criteria for designing, appraising or choosing indicators
• Apply indicators to help measure outcomes for evaluation or quality improvement purposes.
• Develop a basic logic model for a program
