Here are all of the different logic
model slides we used, including a
blank one
A USEFUL TOOL IN MAPPING OUT A PROGRAM IS A “PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL (SEE ONLINE
READINGS. WEEK 1)
PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL
PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL
OBJECTIVES
ACTIVITIES
OUTPUTS
OUTCOMES
Indicators*
What specific
results does the
program hope to
achieve.
What are the
anticipated
consequences of
the program. They
must be
behavioral,
specific and
measurable
somehow.
The more
specific it is the
more easily it is
measured
What was done
within the
program. How
were the inputs
used to produce
outcomes?
Program
components,
activities,
services,
interventions
Products of a
programs
activities.
What was
produced by
the program.
(HOW
MANY
PEOPLE
WENT
THROUGH.
HOW MANY
DOES IT
SERVE?)
What was the
condition of the
outputs. To what
degree were the
objectives met. How
was the problem(s)
reduced by the
program? How have
the clients
benefited? What
were the ultimate
effects of the
program?
Achievement of the
program’s
objectives.
DATA!!!
Often these are
measurements of
outcomes that are
indirect. For example
in a prevention
program to reduce teen
pregnancy, there is no
way to adequately
measure the number of
girls who DON”T get
pregnant. However, if
there is a reduction in
Risk factors such as
lower truancy and
better grades, these
might be considered
‘indicators’ of success.
INPUTS
All resources
used and
allocated for
program.
Staff,
money,
housing,
packaged
treatments
etc.
IF YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFY ALL OF THESE, THEN THE PROGRAM CAN BE EVALUATED.
This should be used to see if there actually is a ‘functional’ program.
Division of S.W. PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL – SEVERELY FLAWED AND BAD EXAMPLE
ERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL USED TO EVALUATE THE M.S.W. PROGRAM. NOTIC
WHAT IS MISSING FROM THE M.S.W. PRGRAM LOGIC MODEL. WE MUST REVISE IT!!!!

A bad batterers program. See the flaws. Not enough actibvities to accomplish
objectives, no outcomes. This program is only interested in making money.

THIS PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL
IS SIMILAR TO MANY “DV” PROGRAMS
I HAVE SEEN. THESE PROGRAMS
GREW WHEN PEOPLE REALIZED THEY
COULD MAKE MONEY OFF OF
BATTERERS. THAT IS WHY THEY
ONLY DO GROUPS. BAD PROGRAM!
Here is an example of a program logic model completed by a previous
student. The model is for a 16 week parenting skills program
objectives
• increase parenting
skills
•Reduce parental
complaints about
child’s behavior
•Reduce ‘on site’
use of inappropriate
parental responses
to child in in vivo
situations
•Increase selfesteem of child
•Reduction of
schools based
complaints to dfcs
•Reduce number of
dfcs-observed poor
parental responses
– i.e. yelling, hitting,
excdessive
punishment
observed at in home
visits
