The logic model is a three-stage approach for conducting an evaluation. The three stages are

planning, implementation, and outcome. Using a hypothetical example of a psychiatric hospital, these stages can be made operational as clients need more group interventions to promote recovery (planning), one additional group is added daily (implementation), and clients are assessed for their knowledge of symptoms and triggers (outcome). What is a central tenet of the logic model? a) The three stages are intrinsically linked b) The three stages are independent c) The three stages are independent, but have a cumulative effect d) The three stages have circular causality
