Enhancing program performance with logic models

Developed by the University of Wisconsin Extension service, this resource provides an introduction to developing and using a particular version of the results chain.

Training exercises and materials to provide an introduction to logic models, developed by the University of Wisconsin. It discusses different ways of representing logic models but focuses particularly on the version developed by the University of Wisconsin which represents logic models in terms of inputs, outputs (activities and participation), short-term outcomes, medium-term outcomes, long-term outcomes, with the identification of assumptions and contributory factors
