- Logic models can serve as valuable tools for organizations working to improve health and health equity, yet they can sometimes feel burdensome and are often misunderstood.
- A recent webinar from Providence CORE offered tips and tools to demystify the process of creating and using logic models.

How can you chart a path for your organization’s programs to achieve its goals? According to Claire Devine, Kristen Lacijan, and Roxanne Marsillo from the Providence Center for Outcomes Research and Education (CORE), a logic model is a great place to start.
A logic model provides a roadmap for the inputs and steps needed to reach your organization or program’s desired outcomes. It provides clarity and direction, ensuring staff, partners, and funders are aligned and working towards common goals. And while logic models can feel intimidating, many teams can benefit from taking time to clarify how specific activities will lead to your planned outcomes. In fact, the process of developing the model and talking through activities, outputs, and assumptions with staff, partners, and participants can be more valuable than the final product itself. That’s one reason we like to say that "logic models are a team sport!"
In a recent webinar, we convened partners from CORE's Data for Change program to help demystify the logic model and address key questions such as:
- What is a logic model?
- Why create a logic model?
- How do you create a logic model?
- How can I assess the effectiveness of my logic model?
Through the webinar, the CORE team also provides a wealth of tools and templates to help build better logic models.
