Logic Models in MYAP: Web-based teleconference May 20, 10-11 am May 21, 1:30-2:30 pm Instructors: Ellen Taylor-Powell and Jennifer Leahy University of Wisconsin-Extension-Cooperative Extension
Learning objectives • Increased understanding of logic models • Increased ability to create a logic model for your MYAP How we will proceed today • Discuss slides • Questions and interaction • Examples
What is a logic model? It’s your roadmap • Description of a program • Graphic representation of what is expected to be achieved and how it is expected to work • Called “program theory” or “program action” • Sequence of steps; a logical chain of if-then relationships that link investments to activities to results.

Whether we realize it or not we are logic modeling all the time. Logic models can be applied to almost anything we do or are engaged in. It is just putting ‘structure’ to a way of thinking…a graphic representation of our mental processes that focus on achieving outcomes.
CDC: Logic Model for Reducing Youth Initiation Outcomes Inputs Activities Outputs Initial Long-term Intermediate State Health Department and Partners Youth are exposed to anti-tobacco/pro-health messages and fewer pro-tobacco messages Counter marketing* Increased knowledge, awareness, and skills, and changes in attitudes Reduced initiation among youth Students receive tobacco prevention education in school School-based prevention* Smoking is de-normalized Youth advocacy groups are formed; youth are mobilized Community mobilization* Reduced tobacco- related morbidity and mortality Tobacco sales to minors are restricted and enforced Decreased access Decreased tobacco- related disparity Policy and regulatory action* Increased price on cigarettes through tax *Targeted to disparate populations

Regardless of format, what do logic models have in common? • They show activities that lead to outcomes • They show a chain of outcomes: short, medium, long-term • They show relationships/connections that make sense (are logical). Arrows are used to show the connections (the if-then relationships) • They are understandable – communicate easily A picture is worth a thousand words
Seems like a lot of work…why do these logic models? • Let’s hear from coalition coordinators:
Logic models in MYAP Start at the end • How will tobacco use look different in 2006? = Long Term Outcome (s) Then, fill in the steps – lay out the logical connections - that will achieve the long-term outcome(s) • What are the shorter term outcomes that must be achieved to order to reach your ultimate goal? = Year 1 Objective(s) and Year 2 objectives • What do you need to do in order to achieve those outcomes? = Strategies/Activities
Creating your MYAP logic model START AT THE END OUTCOMES Year 1 objectives Year 2 Year 3 INPUTS OUTPUTS Chain of outcomes
Examples of short-term outcomes: • Examples of medium-term outcomes: • Examples of long-term outcomes: Changes in people – the community
Logic Model: Smoke Free Workplaces in My County (from your planning workbook) Single priority area Inputs Activities Reach Outcomes Short-term Intermediate Long-term Assess workplace tobacco policies and practices Coalition Time Dollars Partners Including youth Adherence to smoke-free policies # worksites that go smokefree Changes in knowledge and attitudes about ETS Identify workplaces to target Workplace owners Community ordinance/ standard Unions Organize and implement strategy for targeted worksites Change in support of smoke-free workplace standards Workers; union members Increased support for smoke-free worksites WTCB Goal: By 2005, 90% of workplaces will establish smoke-free environments Build community support for smoke-free worksites Public
Logic Model: Multi-Year Tobacco-Free Plan Multiple priority areas Inputs Activities ReachOutcomes Short Medium Long-term Elected officials Increased policy maker support CIA ordinances implemented, enforced Changes in knowledge and attitudes about tobacco and ETS Coalition Time Dollars Partners including youth Organize and implement CIA campaign Public Increased public support Employees, employers, unions Increased knowledge and skills to screen and refer Increased referrals and counseling Health care providers, WIC providers Organize and implement strategy for promoting cessation Increased smoking cessation Increased awareness about cessation services Smokers; tobacco users Increased use of services Youth smokers Increased youth advocacy Organize and implement strategy to prevent youth smoking Other youth Reduction in youth smoking Change in knowledge and attitudes Change in policies Parents, schools, etc. Adherence to policy
TIPS Create a single logic model that shows all priority areas OR create separate logic models for each priority area Keep logic model simple • clearly communicates what you hope to accomplish and how you will accomplish it Show all major linkages – connections Check: Does your logic model make sense? Does it show a meaningful initiative?
Assumptions • You’ve done your homework: logic model is based on situational analysis and involvement of key stakeholders in identification of desired outcomes • Logic model, if not created by the coalition, is understood and has commitment of the coalition
How to create a logic model on your computer: In MSWord • Using the “Draw Table” function • Draw one box and use columns and rows as necessary • Table options (such as borders, merge cells) can be found under “Table” in the menu bar • Can also use the table button at the top of the page. This will automatically create a table of the size you want • Can use Drawing Toolbar at the bottom of the page to draw arrows
How to create a logic model on your computer Create a table in Word… • Use the “Draw Table” function in Word
How to create a logic model on your computer: In MSWord 2. Using text boxes • Use text box button in the drawing toolbar • Add arrows using the arrow button in the drawing toolbar • Auto Shapes also provide valuable tools for designing your logic model
How to create a logic model on your computer: In PowerPoint 3. In Powerpoint; under format • Choose ‘Slide Layout ‘ • Apply Table layout • Double click to add table on slide • Follow menu; functions much like table function in MSWord or add text boxes within the table
