This study introduces a semi-structured interview protocol to guide evaluators in creating program logic models. Novice evaluators can use this tool to develop comprehensive program logic models effectively.

Area of Science:

Program evaluation
Logic modeling

Background:

Developing comprehensive program logic models is crucial for effective evaluation.
Novice evaluators often face challenges in constructing detailed logic models.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a semi-structured interview protocol for developing program logic models.
To guide evaluators in systematically identifying program elements and relationships.

Main Methods:

The protocol involves a series of questions for program informants.
Questions cover informant background, logic model elements, inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and theory development.
Includes steps for prioritizing elements and constructing graphical or tabular models.

Main Results:
