Six Questions need to be answered What are the risk and protective factors to be addressed (the goals) What services and activities will be provided (the strategies) Who will participate in or be influenced by the program (the target group)

What are the risk and protective factors to be addressed (the goals)

What services and activities will be provided (the strategies)

Who will participate in or be influenced by the program (the target group)

Six Questions need to be answered How will these activities lead to expected outcomes? (if-then statement) What immediate changes are expected for individuals, organizations or communities (the short term goals) What changes would the program ultimately like to create? (long term impact)

How will these activities lead to expected outcomes? (if-then statement)

What immediate changes are expected for individuals, organizations or communities (the short term goals)

What changes would the program ultimately like to create? (long term impact)

Examples of if-then statements If the program invest time and money to develop an inventory of drug-free summer activities, then youth will be more informed about what is available in the community

If the program invest time and money to develop an inventory of drug-free summer activities, then youth will be more informed about what is available in the community

Examples of if-then statements If youth know what is available, then they will be more likely to participate in these programs

If youth know what is available, then they will be more likely to participate in these programs

Examples of if-then statements If youth participate in alternative activities, then they will be more likely to develop friendships with non-using peers and the be less likely to use ATOD themselves.
