Logic Model Template

Description

A example of a logic model and blank logic model template provided by the US EPA used to provide the roadmap of a project. From the document: "Logic models are useful tools for defining the educational and environmental outputs and outcomes that are planned to accomplish the goals and objectives of the project. A logic model is a visual presentation of the relationships between your work and your desired results. It communicates the performance story of your project, focusing attention on the most important connections between your actions and the results. A logic model can serve as a basic road map for the project, explaining where you are and where you hope to end up."

Evaluating Climate and Health

The Climate and Health Program uses CDC's Evaluation Framework to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of climate and health work. To highlight the evaluation planning process for climate and health, the program has translated the steps of the CDC Evaluation Framework into a video series. The videos showcase best practices evaluators can apply, as well as some common challenges, using real-world examples of today's most pressing climate threats, namely heat, flooding, and insect vectors.
