LOGIC MODEL OF PLANNING AND EVALUATION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF
PREP PROGRAM
Measuring implementation outcomes: An updated systematic review of measures’ psychometric properties
For Aim 1, our situational analysis culminated in a preliminary draft of a logic model designed for planning and evaluating a PrEP program. This model was developed based on the framework proposed by Smith et al in their paper, The Implementation Research Logic Model: A Method for Planning, Executing, Reporting, and Synthesizing Implementation Projects (Implementation Science). The logic model summarizes the key determinants of PrEP adoption and prescription, outlines the strategies devised to address these factors, and details how both our team and other stakeholders have incorporated and planned to evaluate these strategies. As a practical example, we applied this evaluation to a case study of a sexual health clinic that adopted and delivered PrEP on-site.
