Imagine you are a public health specialist and have recently been hired by the local school system. After an initial assessment within this school system, it has been shown that there has been a significant increase in reports of bullying (both physical and cyber) in grades 7 through 12. There appears to be no real differences in reported cases across gender or ethnicity, but students in grades 7 and 9 combined make up 50% of all cases.

Using the information above, create an initial post in which you address the benefits of applying a logic model. Be sure to analyze the potential impact the community intervention could have, to include an example of a logic model that you think would be appropriate for this situation, and to describe a potential evidence-based solution for this situation.

This discussion requires a Logic Model. Remember that a Logic Model is a visual depiction of the health problem (i.e., use “bullying” for this Discussion assignment) and its associated outcomes, etc. In addition to the Problem/Goal, please also include the following: Inputs, Outputs, Short-Term Outcomes of Activities, & Long-Term Impacts.
