Each column in a logic model table is referred to as an “element”. The number of logic model elements is not standardized and will vary depending on how much detail the program wants to convey. The most common elements in a logic model are:
Programmatic Assumptions: The program theory. The program theory describes the mechanisms of change which are usually based on social science and public health theories. The programmatic assumptions are critical because all the other logic model elements must be aligned to them. Thus, it should appear as the first element (column) in the logic model. The fact that this element does not appear in the three examples illustrates well how many evaluators who use a logic model do not truly understand its purpose.
Inputs: The resources needed to run the activity, such as people, infrastructure, etc.
Activities: What the program is doing. The activity description should be directly aligned to the programmatic assumption.
Outputs: The number of things served or developed as a result of the inputs and activities. Because of its focus on “counts,” the data is usually related to evaluating Oversight and Compliance.
Outcomes: What is expected to change and how it will be measured. This should be aligned with programmatic assumptions and activities.
When evaluating merit and worth, the most important elements are the programmatic assumptions, activities, and outcomes. These are the three elements which must be “logically” connected.
Merit and Worth (M&W) builds upon Program Improvement (PI) and Oversight and Compliance (O&C). Therefore, when developing a Logic Model, you must consider what you have learned across all three evaluation purposes, extracting information for each element of the logic model.
In this fourth part of the Scholar Practitioner Project (SPP), you will build the Logic Model for the evidence-based public health program you previously selected.

Design a logic model for your evidence-based public health program. Explain the underlying logic for your evidence-based public health program by completing Table 1 Summary: Logic Model with the following information:
Programmatic Assumptions: Explain the program theory.
Inputs: Explain what resources are needed to run the activity.
Activities: Explain what the program is doing. Activities must be aligned to the programmatic assumptions.
Outputs: Explain the number of things served or developed as a result of the inputs and activities.
Outcomes: Explain what is expected to change and how it will be measured. Outcomes must be aligned with programmatic assumptions and activities.Short-Term Outcomes
Intermediate Outcomes
Long-Term Outcomes
Make sure that all these components are aligned.
