2006 Enhancing Prevention Programs Credibility Through The Use of A Logic Model
2006 Enhancing Prevention Programs Credibility Through The Use of A Logic Model
were: (a) to reduce the risk that youth wiU engage in dysfunctional
bebavior sucb as drugs and criminal activities; and (b) to improve
participants' academic standing while reducing their in-school sus-
pension rates. Specific objectives included increase participants' GPA
and decrease aggregate absences, suspensions and referrals to the
principal's office, and improve their leisure attitudes and behavior.
The WISE-UP Logic Model (See Figure 1) illustrated a logic-
flow from program activities to the anticipated short-and long-term
impact of the intervention.
Figure 1 shows the improved framework for the WISE-UP Logic
Model. It consisted of five components: (1) Assumpdons/Theoreti-
cal Premise, (2) Program Activities, (3) Immediate Outcomes/Evalu-
ative Activities, (4) Intermediate Outcomes/Objectives, and (5) Final
outcomes / Goals.
