Menu of Outcomes and Indicators
What is the menu of outcomes and indicators?
The menu of outcomes and indicators is a listing of potential items for programs to use in creating their logic model. The menu can be accessed below through an interactive search.
The menu of outcomes and indicators is organized by protective factors and relevant domains and then grouped by long-term or short term classifications. You can search using these various terms and keywords to narrow down the list of results. Once you have identified relevant outcomes, you can download them onto your computer for use in designing your logic model. Please edit these items to make sure they fit your needs.
The search mechanism below allows you to access the information in several ways. You can search based on:
- Domains or Protective Factors – you can select one or more in this dropdown menu by merely selecting options from the list by clicking in the box and selecting the relevant items. You can choose as many as you wish by clicking on the box and adding additional options.
- Keyword – This will search the outcome language for critical terms. Remember to be selective in your search terms to prevent generating results that may be too broad. Search terms such as parents, caregivers, child will yield large numbers of matches.
- Duration – Choose from short-term or intermediate/long-term items. These will help focus your search based on your overall needs.
