This page contains a number of resources designed to illustrate the role of Logic Models in the design, implementation and evaluation of health related interventions.
The aim of these resources is to help gain an understanding of how Logic Models can be useful and to include ideas on how to produce effective, meaningful logic models. There's also content to assist practitioners in understanding how logic models can help practitioners engage with behaviour change theories and how such theories can be used to improve the effectiveness of new interventions.
