Program theory and logic model to address the co-occurrence of domestic violence and child maltreatment

Missing in Action: Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Evaluation of Comprehensive Community Initiatives

“…Dominant within developmental approaches are "Theory of Change" (TOC) ( Archibald, Sharrock, Buckley, & Cook, 2016;Blamey & Mackenzie, 2007;Coffman, 2007;Foster-Fishman & Watson, 2012;Kubisch, Auspos, Brown, Buck, & Dewar, 2011;Rogers, 2008). Realistic evaluation (Blamey & Mackenzie, 2007), logic modelling (Hill & Thies, 2010;Kaufman et al, 2006), outcome harvesting (Abboud & Claussen, 2016), and timeline of impact (Sridharan et al, 2006) all share the goals of facili tating internal learning, adaptation, and growth for those engaged in CCIs and are closely associated with and intended to extend or complement TOC.…”

Patent Analysis for the Formulation of Technology Policy: Evidence from 4G LTE Industry

“…The quantitative measures provide objective method to describe the data we collect and MDS can reduced the dimensions [28]. In turn, such clarification and evidence may convince stakeholders to support technology policy proposed by the government and encourage consensus on the future development of the country [11,24].…”

“…With limited technology research budgets, the technology policy expectations of some 3 stakeholders will be fulfilled, and conflicts of interests will be difficult to avoid. To reconcile conflicting interests, policy-makers must have a set of rigorous tools for contemplating relevant issues regarding future national technology development [24]. Policy-makers require a set of reasonable decision support systems that enable them to obtain reliable information as evidence that they can generate maximum benefits.…”

Dealing with context in logic model development: Reflections from a realist evaluation of a community health worker programme in Nigeria

“…While there is broad agreement that LMs are useful for summarizing the “logical’’ process of linking underlying programmatic assumptions, inputs, activities, outcomes and impact, nonetheless, the ability of logic modelling techniques to incorporate contextual factors into simple LMs is contested. While some authors have praised the incorporation of contextual factors in LMs as a strength of logic modelling (McLaughlin & Jordan, 1999; Owen & Rogers, 1999), others criticize LMs for their failure to capture the external context in which programmes operate (Cullen et al, 2016; Hill & Thies, 2010; Rogers, 2008). Moreover, scholars have highlighted an unintended consequence of some simple formats of LMs.…”
