“…The model has been used as a planning and/or evaluation framework for a wide range of participants and settings, such as palliative care (6, 7); professional development programs for medical and health professionals (8, 9); programs for prevention of diabetes (10), HIV (11), breast cancer (12), and teenage pregnancy (13); research capacity in practice (14–16), primary care reform (17, 18); and community health promotions (19, 20). Although there has been increasing interest in the literature on planning and evaluation frameworks, the Logic Model has not been popularly used in the social service settings.…”

IntroductionEvaluation studies on train-the-trainer workshops (TTTs) to develop family well-being interventions are limited in the literature. The Logic Model offers a framework to place some important concepts and tools of intervention science in the hands of frontline service providers. This paper reports on the evaluation of a TTT for a large community-based program to enhance family well-being in Hong Kong.MethodsThe 2-day TTT introduced positive psychology themes (relevant to the programs that the trainees would deliver) and the Logic Model (which provides a framework to guide intervention development and evaluation) for social service workers to guide their community-based family interventions. The effectiveness of the TTT was examined by self-administered questionnaires that assessed trainees’ changes in learning (perceived knowledge, self-efficacy, attitude, and intention), trainees’ reactions to training content, knowledge sharing, and benefits to their service organizations before and after the training and then 6 months and 1 year later. Missing data were replaced by baseline values in an intention-to-treat analysis. Focus group interviews were conducted approximately 6 months after training.ResultsFifty-six trainees (79% women) joined the TTT. Forty-four and 31 trainees completed the 6-month and 1-year questionnaires, respectively. The trainees indicated that the workshop was informative and well organized. The TTT-enhanced trainees’ perceived knowledge, self-efficacy, and attitudes toward the application of the Logic Model and positive psychology constructs in program design. These changes were present with small to large effect size that persisted to the 1 year follow-up. The skills learned were used to develop 31 family interventions that were delivered to about 1,000 families. Qualitative feedback supported the quantitative results.ConclusionThis TTT offers a practical example of academic-community partnerships that promote capacity among community social service workers. Goals included sharing basic tools of intervention development and evaluation, and the TTT offered, therefore, the potential of learning skills that extended beyond the lifetime of a single program.Clinical trial registrationThe research protocol was registered at the National Institutes of Health (identifier number: NCT01796275).

“…Logic models have been successfully used to evaluate health programs related to the prevention of sexual violence (Hawkins, Clinton-Sherrod, Neil, Hart, & Russell, 2009), teenage pregnancy (Hulton, 2007), emergency preparedness (Torghele et al, 2007), nutrition education (McDeiros et al, 2005), and breast health (Lane & Martin, 2005). This provides an outline of what is most important to monitor through the program.…”

The church is a community resource that can help address areas of health disparity for African Americans by offering programs focused on primary prevention. Use of a logic model as a program evaluation tool highlights church priorities and program linkages (problems, goals, objectives, activities, outputs, and outcomes), providing clear evidence about meeting program expectations. Faith community nurses can lead program development, easily incorporating logic models within programming efforts. Church-based programs that document positive outcomes enhance program usefulness and value as a community health resource.

“…Logic models are applied to the evaluation of a wide range of both systems and personal health issues such as public health work force development, 14 prevention research centers, 15 primary care clinical services, 4 psycho-oncology services, 16 comprehensive community initiatives, 6 nutrition education, 8 teen pregnancy prevention, 7 breast health, 5 and tobacco prevention. 17 The use of evaluation logic models has become dominant in the major government agencies responsible for disease prevention and control such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Promising Practices in Chronic Disease Prevention and Control) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).…”

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.
