Logic Model

Activities		Short-term Outcomes		Intermediate Outcomes		Distal Outcomes
Develop Partnerships Develop partnerhips with publicly funded health centers and with youth serving organizations (YSOs) that serve vulnerable youth Establish a key partnership team with representatives from each health center and YSO partner Partner with a national training and technical assistance provider Collaborate with health center partners in developing and implementing approach to improving adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services Establish quality improvement initiative to increase the likelihood that sexually active youth will receive youth-friendly SRH services including access to the full range of FDA approved methods of birth control Create supportive organizational context Train staff and build competency Implement changes and make improvements Institutionalize changes Collaborate with YSO partners in developing and implementing approach to linking sexually active youth to SRH services Establish organizational policy and referral process to link youth at the YSO to partner health centers Train staff and build competency Implement and make improvements Institutionalize changes Develop and implement health communications and outreach efforts intended to increase use of SRH service at health center partners		Partnerships Health center and YSO partner leaders and staff are engaged and committed to TPP initiative within their systems Partner leaders have dedicated staff time or other resources to the TPP initiative Linkage and referral systems between YSOs and health center partners is established and efforts to link youth to SRH are coordinated across systems Health Center Partners Health centers make structural changes (e.g., financing, clinical policies, protocols, practices, medication formulary, appointment scheduling) that support improvements in SRH services Staff are knowledgeable about and supportive of implementation of evidence-based guidelines for reproductive health services, youth friendly best practices, and the provision of the most effective types of contraception to sexually active teens Providers screen sexually active youth for pregnancy intention, counsel on the full range of FDA approved methods of birth control, and provide the method that youth select without delay Services are provided in a youth-friendly manner (based on report of teen clients). YSO Partners YSOs implement organizational policies that support efforts to link youth to SRH services Staff are supportive of efforts to link youth to SRH services Staff are knowledgeable about how to screen youth to determine need for SRH services and provide referrals Youth service providers actively refer adolescent clients to SRH services		More youth visit health center partners Youth at YSO’s receive referrals for SRH services Youth in the community receive information about where to get SRH services through health communications and outreach efforts Youth at health center partners are screened to identify sexually active youth in need of SRH services (regardless of original visit purpose) More youth receive SRH services More youth receive contraceptive methods and a larger percentage of those youth receive highly effective contraception More youth use contraception		Fewer teen pregnancies and teen births among vulnerable youth Better long term educational and employment outcomes for youth and better outcomes for their children Sustained efforts
