Developing a Logic Model or Theory of Change
Examples	Contributed by Bobby Milstein and Tom Chapel Edited by Val Renault and Steve Fawcett

These are examples of logic models that other people have found effective. Please note, however, that no other person's or group's logic model can serve as template for your own; even if your initiative is similar, the forces of change and other important details for each effort will differ.

Therefore we offer a range of examples here, and invite you to share with us your own story of change using a logic model. More examples are given in the Community Work Station to develop a framework or model of change.

Example 5: Nebraska Logic Model for Walk to School Day, by Jamie Hahn

Jamie Hahn is a health educator with the Cardiovascular Health Program at Nebraska Health and Human Services System. "This model helps me to explain to different partners what their role is in the Walk to School Day events," Hahn says. "I use it as a guide or a road map. It enables me to check-off things I have done and see the things I have left to do, as well as serve that purpose for local/school coordinators."

Example 6: Courtney and Bailey Peters' Model: A Safe Place for Kids to Play

Courtney and Bailey Peters, who are 9 and 11 years old, developed this logic model after their mother, Dorian K. Peters, told them what she had done at work that day . Dorian is on the staff of the Idaho Asthma Coalition Asthma Coalition and had attended a presentation on logic modeling presented by Ginger Floerchinger-Franks, Injury Prevention Program Manager, Idaho Department of Health & Welfare.
