The PRECEDE/PROCEED Model is a planning tool. It suggests that effective intervention design has 8 phases:
1. Social diagnosis
2. Epidemiological, behavioral, and environmental diagnosis
3. Educational and ecological diagnosis
4. Administrative and policy diagnosis
5. Implementation
6. Process Evaluation
7. Impact Evaluation
8. Outcome Evaluation
The model assumes that a participatory approach to intervention planning is necessary for success.
The PRECEDE/PROCEED Logic Model has taught us that behavior change interventions should be designed in a systematic way. We use the PRECEDE/PROCEED Logic Model to map out our approach at the beginning of many of our projects. Having a sound planning framework helps us design rigorous health promotion interventions that are linked to clear, measurable outcomes.
