Self-Study Quiz

The BDI Logic Model is a:
1. standard type of logic model that can be used to solve practically any "problem."
2. tool for designing effective interventions and programs.
3. framework to comprehensively and strategically identify a health goal that corresponds to currently implemented interventions.
4. graphic depiction that shows clearly and concisely the causal pathways through which specific interventions can affect behavior and thereby achieve a health problem.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using a BDI Logic Model?
1. It provides a clear rationale for program activities that guides program staff and other organizations involved in the intervention.
2. It helps facilitate funding by providing a clear rationale for program activities.
3. It eliminates unreasonable pressure to demonstrate impact upon a health goal.
4. It helps determine what additional information needs to be gathered — or what research needs to be conducted — in order to design or improve a program.

A BDI Logic Model development workgroup is most effective when:
1. workgroup members meet regularly with individual members and complete assignments between meetings.
2. all workgroup members are involved in the process from start to finish.
3. several members of the target population participate in the workgroup.
4. workgroup members are invested in the success of the logic model and the resulting interventions.

Behaviors are "sufficiently precise" when they:
1. are stated at or below a 5th grade reading level.
2. leave no room for discrepancy and therefore give clear direction to the rest of the logic model.
3. are easily understood by representatives from the target population and the implementation staff.
4. can be repeated three times fast.

A fifth column can be added to BDI Logic Models when:
1. your target population is a group of professionals.
2. the text of your logic model cannot fit in the confines of four columns.
3. two behaviors are chosen for one target population.
4. working with another group (i.e., youth workers) to affect the behavior of your target population.

Which of the following statements about "determinants" is NOT true?
1. They fall into two categories: risk factors and protective factors.
2. They have some causal impact upon behavior.
3. They have a consistent and predictable effect on behavior.
4. They are selected after the behavior(s) are determined in a BDI Logic Model.

Leading focus groups can be an important aspect of BDI Logic Model development when:
1. relevant research is not available on a determinant.
2. the workgroup has a significant lack of focus.
3. the chosen determinant does not have a significant impact on the chosen behavior.
4. the workgroup cannot reach consensus on whether to focus on risk factors or protective factors.

Once the important determinants are selected for a BDI Logic Model:
1. their impact on the chosen behaviors must be evaluated.
2. current research no longer needs to be consulted because it is not needed for the last step in the logic model development process.
3. they need to be worded in a sufficiently precise manner.
4. specific programmatic interventions need to be identified.

Logic models can be referred to as "living documents" because:
1. they affect the lives of so many people when they are implemented correctly and completely.
2. if workgroup members aren't careful, the development process can take a big piece of their lives to complete.
3. they are most beneficial if they are kept alive by being used and updated on an on-going basis.
4. their usefulness and effectiveness "live" a long time, even if when they are not updated frequently.

Asking other interested individuals and organizations to review the logic model and make suggestions for improvement is a task related to:
1. developing the logic model.
2. applying the logic model.
3. updating the logic model.
4. focusing the logic model.
