Logic Model (3 drafts 5pts., 5pts., 10pts)

20 points (20% of your final grade) Due date: September 13^th on Canvas

Submission: To submit upload a Word document of your logic model to Canvas. Please reference the rubric at the bottom of this assignment when completing your drafts.

Goal

For this assignment, you will map linkages from your intervention to the conditions you would like to address.

Why this is important.

This is important because far too often, good-intentioned people spend resources on ideas that do not work or there was no need for in the first place. By purposefully mapping the theory to an outcome that meets identified needs in your target population, you will get in the habit of using a scientific approach to do good and increase the odds of creating real-world change by addressing the social and/or behavioral determinants of those conditions.

Process

You will work on this assignment throughout the course in several drafts, for which there will be professor and peer feedback on before turning the final logic model is due.

Autonomy

To complete the assignment itself, you may choose any circumstance that you would like to change, which will be the same as your proposal project. If you are unsure what topic you may choose one from the list of topics on Canvas.

You will submit your assignment on Canvas by uploading your logic model grid.

You may submit it as a Word doc, PowerPoint, Google doc or basically any format that will allow the teacher to view and comment on. 

The steps involved to complete this assignment are as follows:

Rubric 1: A guide for your success

	Beginning	Developing	Accomplished	Exemplary	Where you are currently at
Goal	You have a clear goal	Your goal is specific	Your goal is Realistic	Your goal defines measurement and time, is realistic and specific to your population
Behavior	You have a clearly identified a changeable behavior that can be linked to the outcome	You have research the phenomenon Identified a few behaviors that can be linked to the outcome	You show the motivation for the behavior and research its link to the outcome	Consideration of the verity of behaviors that can be attributed to the problem. The motivation for the behavior and ecological level from which it stems
Determinants	You have some idea about what might cause the behavior	You have Research the known knowledge on the underlying causes of these behaviors	You have moved beyond the individual and are now thinking about social, economic and biological determinants	You are considering the culture when identifying determinants
Theory	You have picked a health promotion theory that in some way gets at the determinants of the behavior	You have picked a health promotion theory that gets at the determinants of the behavior and have broken it out into its specific constructs	You have researched the determinants and reviewed existing health promotion theories and selected theories and constructs that directly address each determinant	You have shown a clear link from each theory construct to the determinant and cited papers that cite this theory as being the one that addresses the known determinants the best within your target population.
Intervention	You have thought of some ideas that might address the underlying determinants of the problem	You have selected interventions that are based on the theories you selected	You have found programs that already exist that are based on those theories and the research shows they work	You tailor existing theory-based interventions to your target population ensuring that you do not contradict any culturally important practices values attitudes and believes while still addressing
