The purpose is to provide assistance to the states who are working with the HSEES Prevention Outreach Plan. A model intervention format was created to assist the states in sharing knowledge and resources, assessing the effectiveness of various approaches, setting priorities for allocating resources, and addressing problems that were identified.
The Logic Model is a new method that is currently being utilized by CDC/ATSDR to aid in evaluation, program planning, and processes. Its role as an aid to program planning is most helpful to a prevention outreach plan. In program planning, the Logic Model will be helpful in elaborating on the relationship between activities, targets, and effects. The Logic Model is a tool that helps to describe the program, which is a necessary part of both planning and evaluation, by laying out a map of goals and a chain of events. The Logic Model also relates program activities to their effects, which help to keep stakeholders focused on achieving outcomes, while remaining flexible and open to finding the best means for accomplishing the work.
