title: Logic models as aids in managing health programs.
abstract: Logic models, which are graphic depictions of how programs are intended to operate, can be very useful devices for improving the management of health programs in two important ways. They can assist program managers to perform the core management activities of strategizing, designing, and leading other program participants in an integrated manner. Logic models also can assist managers in establishing and maintaining good program stakeholder relationships.
