“…Various versions of the socioecological model are widely referenced and used as guiding frameworks for research at the population level (52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66), and this would seem to contradict the above assertion that the individual is the primary unit of analysis in conventional research. However, even in this context, the unit of analysis (the dependent variable) is the individual.…”

Nutrition research, ranging from molecular to population levels and all points along this spectrum, is exploring new frontiers as new technologies and societal changes create new possibilities and demands. This paper defines a set of frontiers at the population level that are being created by the increased societal recognition of the importance of nutrition; its connection to urgent health, social, and environmental problems; and the need for effective and sustainable solutions at the population level. The frontiers are defined in terms of why, what, who, and how we study at the population level and the disciplinary foundations for that research. The paper provides illustrations of research along some of these frontiers, an overarching framework for population nutrition research, and access to some of the literature from outside of nutrition that can enhance the intellectual coherence, practical utility, and societal benefit of population nutrition research. The frontiers defined in this paper build on earlier forward-looking efforts by the American Society for Nutrition and extend these efforts in significant ways. The American Society for Nutrition and its members can play pivotal roles in advancing these frontiers by addressing a number of well-recognized challenges associated with transdisciplinary and engaged research.

“…Logic models have been applied to diverse health programs including the evaluation of community nutrition education programs [37] and a school based programs aimed at reduce the frequencies of teenage pregnancies [38]. The value of logic models is well established in health promotion and resources available to develop logic models [39].…”

IntroductionAs the global prevalence of obesity and chronic diseases continues to rise, the need for effective health promotion programs is imperative. Whilst research into effectiveness of health promotion programs is needed to improve population health outcomes, translation of these research findings into policy and practice is crucial. Presently, evaluation has been applied inconsistently to health promotion programs [5], limiting the translation of knowledge. Health promotion programs have further been criticised for insufficient evaluation planning [6] and scrutinised as "fail (ing) to contribute to their own quality enhancement" [5]. Barriers to evaluation include funding constraints, lack of knowledge, skills and familiarity with evaluation methodologies and poor availability of measurement tools. Information related AbstractBackground: Evaluation has an integral role in effective health promotion, yet few large scale health promotion interventions prospectively incorporate rigorous evaluation into their planning processes. To promote greater use of evaluation we reviewed the health promotion literature incorporating evaluations and have produced a succinct summary.

The Medical Home model for providing services to children with special healthcare needs has strong philosophical foundations, but the science supporting this theoretical model is not as well developed. The use of logic models and mixed method design provide systematic and rigorous approaches to observation while retaining the complexity, which tends to be lost with research designs intended to control and reduce the number of variables impacting a desired outcome, such as randomized controlled trials. This application provides a historical basis for applying logic models of evaluation and illustrates the utility of logic models.
