Which assessment model features end-in-mind, upfront evaluation, and a living document/action plan?

• A. CHANGE model
• B. SWOT analysis
• C. Logic model
• D. PRECEDE-PROCEED

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is planning with a clear end goal and an evolving, action-focused plan. The CHANGE model emphasizes keeping the desired health outcome in view from the outset and conducting an upfront evaluation of needs, resources, and readiness to achieve that goal. It also treats the plan as a living document, continually updated as new data come in and circumstances change, so actions remain aligned with the target and progress can be tracked and adjusted over time. While other frameworks offer valuable structures—for example, logic models map inputs and outcomes, and PRECEDE-PROCEED provides phased evaluation—none integrate end-in-mind upfront assessment with a continuously updated, actionable plan in the same lightweight, ongoing way as the CHANGE model.
