SOCW 6311 Walden University Week 7 Outlining a Logic Model Paper

• A completed practice-level logic model outline (table) from the Week 7 Assignment handout
• A completed program logic model outline (table) in the Week 7 Assignment Handout
• 2–3 paragraphs that elaborate on your practice-level logic model outline. Describe the activities that would take place in the support group sessions that would address needs and lead to improved outcomes
• 2–3 paragraphs that elaborate on your program-level logic model and address the following:
  • Decisions that would need to be made about characteristics of group membership
  • Group activities
  • Short- and long-term outcomes
  • Ways to measure the outcomes

First, consider the practice level. Focus on Helen’s needs and interventions that would address those needs and lead to improved outcomes. Then consider the support group on a new program level. Think about the resources that would be required to implement such a program (inputs) and about how you can measure the outcomes.
