Theory of Change v Logic Models​
-
HSPE excels in identifying the causality in how your organization's program is achieving its goals, and critically, in measuring appropriate indicators
Analysis
-
Context is often causal in health and social programming. The mediators of modifiers of the program's impact are often unknown and difficult to identify. HSPE draws on epidemiologic methods to map the program's connections between activities and outcomes as they take place in their contexts.
-
HSPE prioritizes mixed methods in order to best contextualize quantitative effects in their context to fully understand program logic.
-
HSPE also utilizes quasi-experimental methods as possible. We see marrying the ability to suggest causality with evaluation's utility for programmatic organizations as a major advantage.
