Reflection Questions: 

• Reflect on the process of constructing your change model and how it informs your ideas about intervention design. 
• What did you find especially interesting in this week’s course material?
• What was hardest about the concepts this week (and you need some help understanding?) 
• What ideas are you thinking about for your Assignment 4 Program Design paper and presentation? Do you feel you have clarity from the process of creating this Logic Model of Change? What are you wondering about or need help with thinking through? 
• Pose at least one question to your peers for discussion based on this week’s material and your reflection.

Case study & Conceptual Model application (combined): Logic Model of Change
 

This week’s case study will provide practice interpreting the theory behind an existing public health intervention. You will read an article and construct a Logic Model of Change from the article's text.

Instructions:

1. Locate a peer-reviewed article about a theory-based public health intervention of any kind.
2. In a new Google Doc, compose a 2-page double-spaced synthesis of the article. First, read and briefly summarize the article's background, methods, results, and conclusions using your own language (max 1 page double-spaced). Include an APA citation and web link to the articl
3. Then, using Google Drawing as usual, construct a Logic Model of Change based on the intervention which clearly connects the health problem, behavioral and environmental influences, and individual determinants of those influences on the health problem. Clearly identify which part of the Logic Model the intervention in the article seeks to change. The article may not clearly lay this out for you; you may have to interpret what the authors describe in order to fill in each box.
