Question

“I don't understand how this kind of information is useful for planning a program” says one BexTex employee.

“That’s ok,” you say. You’re about to really impress them, because you can demonstrate how to create a program logic model and visually depict how the information from a PRECEDE needs assessment can guide program development. You take a few seconds to gather your thoughts and say: “Let's work through an example of how we can use data from a needs assessment to design an intervention.”

You turn to a whiteboard behind you, draw an outline of a program logic model, and begin walking the staff through the logic of a program designed to meet the need identified in your example needs assessment (measles).

Determine where each statement belongs on a program logic model using the response options below. You may use an answer more than once, or not at all.
