Logic Model Workshop

Identify local data for as many boxes as possible. Starting with consequences, working backward Operationalize: Identify indicators used to

measure concepts. What other data sources could be accessed? Assessment Toolkit, Focus Groups

Logic Model Data SourcesFill in your logic model worksheet with data

sources, indicators, and data that you have or are waiting on.

When available, identify at least one possible data source for each box.

Identify data that you still need or could use to triangulate on information you already have.

Share ideas on data sources with group members.

Logic Model CalculationsTo find the “HOT SPOTS” in your data:

# of positive responses/populationBe careful to be sure that the accurate population has

been identified Gender: # of males/total population Child neglect: # of drug/alcohol related cases/# of cases

Be sure to triangulate information when ever possible.Share ideas on data sources with group members.

Infrastructure IdentificationUsing what you’ve learned, brainstorm

existing programs, policies or practices that address the causal factors.

Try to make an exhaustive list of the programs, policies, and practices that addresses your high-priority causal factors.

Consider the scope and reach of policy, program or practice.

Why is this an issue Why is the issue in my Community

Strategic Plan Strategies already in place

• Activities associated with these strategies• Should they be reinforced by us?

Strategies that should be implemented Weak data that need more research

• Focus Groups• Other data sources

Untouched areas of community Outcomes

Short Term Intermediate Long term

• Should include Sustainability, Capacity building and Cultural Competence
