How does my healthcare intervention work? Which components of my complex intervention could have affected the outcome, and how? And what outcomes should I focus on when preparing a systematic review?
In our 2021 NAVICARE Symposium we will look at a way to address these questions in healthcare research by creating a logic model. We invited Dr. Dylan Kneale and Dr. Alison O’Mara-Eves to learn from both experts, how to apply logic models at various stages along the research process – from the planning phase of an intervention study to evidence synthesis via systematic reviews.

You are welcome to join this inspiring and interactive session!

2.00 ­- 2.05pm –       Welcome & Introduction

2.05 – 2.50pm  –      An overview of Logical Models

1. 1. 1. 1. What is a logic model and how do logic models compare with other forms of programme theory
         2. What functions does a logic model serve in the research process
         3. A taxonomy of logic models – the different types of logic model and their features and functions
         4. Introducing (further) complexity into logic models
         5. How to get started with creating a logic model – from sticky notes to software

                                    Break

3.05 – 3.40 p.m. –    Case Study 1a and 1b – Using a logic model to theorise how an intervention works

1. 1. 1. 1. Describing the process of creating a logic model using an example of school-based asthma self-management interventions
         2. A Description of the process of updating the model of school-based asthma self-management interventions based on new evidence
         3. Showcasing the utility of a logic model approach to test the underlying assumptions of a research approach through examining Precision Public Health

3.40-4.15 p.m. –      Case Study 2 – The process of co-producing a logic model and visualising complexity

1. 1. 1. 1. The process of co-producing a logic model
         2. The benefits that co-production brought to the model and the considerations
         3. The challenges and possible solutions to visualizing the complexity of people’s experiences

4.15-4.30 p.m. –      Final discussion and closing remarks
