In a logic model, which element represents the direct products of program activities?

• A. Inputs
• B. Outcomes
• C. Outputs
• D. Activities

Answer: (C)

In a logic model, the sequence goes from resources and capabilities (inputs) to what you do (activities) to what you produce directly from those activities (outputs) and then to the changes you want to see (outcomes). Outputs are the tangible, countable products of the activities—things you can quantify, such as the number of counseling sessions delivered, participants served, or materials distributed. Outcomes, by contrast, describe the changes that occur in participants or systems as a result of those outputs (like increased knowledge or improved behavior) and are measured after outputs. Since the question asks for the direct products of program activities, the best match is outputs.
