State Falls Prevention Coalition Logic Model
The logic model is asystematic and visual way to present and share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your coalition, the activities you plan to do, and the outcomesand impact you hope to achieve.This is a framework to help you get started; feel free to add or delete information to make the logic model as useful as possible for your own coalition.

Increased/new fall prevention policy within different sectors
Increased participation in EB FP programs
Increased numbers of older adults and caregivers making appropriate behavior changes
Increased engagement of policymakers
Increased numbers of older adults screened for falls risks and referred to appropriate EB programs and services / Demonstration of positive return on investments
Recognition that falls are preventable and are not a normal part of aging
Incorporation of FP into organizational, health care, and community plans/policies/practices
Provision and use of a wide range of FP programs and services in most counties

Decrease in falls, fall-related injuries, and fall-related deaths
Increase in life expectancy, independence, and quality of life
Assumptions
  • A community working collaboratively can create safer environments and increase available and accessible programs and services that are integrated across sectors, therefore reducing falls, falls-related injuries and deaths
  • States may vary in terms of investment, resources, and buy-in
  • States will conduct ongoing surveillance and data analysis, including economic programmatic data collection
  • Reasonableness tests will be performed on inputs and their effect on desired outcomes
  • States will acknowledge and enfold the socioecological model under the premise that everyone in a community has a contribution to make to falls prevention and should be informed/empowered to take action within his/her sphere of influence.

External Factors
Political / Economic / Social / Technological
  • Political will for change may not be present.
/
  • Economic conditions are difficult in many states and communities, and funding may not be available.
/
  • The aging population is growing rapidly.
/
  • Web-based education and other web-based tools can be used to build awareness and to facilitate training and dissemination.

Logic Model Glossary of Terms

Resources: May include funding, existing organizations, potential collaborating partners, existing organizational or interpersonal networks, staff and volunteers, time, facilities, equipments, supplies, and other assets or supports.

Activities: The processes, techniques, tools, events, technology, and actions of the planned programs.
