In the LOGIC model, which step corresponds to changes expected 1-3 years and 4-6 years later?

• A. Input
• B. Activities
• C. Outputs
• D. Outcome

Answer: (D)

Outcomes capture the changes you expect in people or the system over time as a result of the program. In a logic model, you move from inputs to activities to outputs and finally to outcomes. The changes anticipated at 1–3 years and again at 4–6 years are the outcomes, reflecting short- and longer‑term effects such as increased knowledge, behavior changes, or improved health indicators. Outputs are the tangible products of activities (like how many trainings were delivered or how many people were served) and do not by themselves represent changes in the target population. Inputs are the resources invested, and activities are what you do with those resources. So the step describing those time-spanned changes is the outcome step.
