Using logic models

This guide gives step-by-step advice, tips, and questions to support developing a logic model for a policy, programme or project. Developing a logic model is a collaborative process to structure your thinking and not simply about filling in a template, – although we have included a template that can be used and modified according to need. We strongly recommend discussing the logic model with colleagues and funders, asking whether each step makes sense and is consistent with the evidence.

In addition to advice and questions to consider, we include an example to illustrate each step of a logic model, as well as some of the thinking that would underpin that logic model.
