Assignment
Week 7 – Plan a Needs Assessment
In preparation to perform the needs assessment,
develop a program logic model for the “Doc on
Wheels” program. Use the background material
given for the “Doc on Wheels” program and design a
flow chart to illustrate a program logic model.
Include program inputs, activities, outputs and
outcomes (initial, intermediate and long-term).
Analyze the elements of the flow chart
