Which step in the logic model involves sharing information with community organizations to target areas and plan intervention strategies?

• A. Identify the burden of cancer in geographic areas and by characteristics of person (measure)
• B. Implement the intervention plan
• C. Share this information with community organizations to target areas and plan intervention strategies
• D. Measure whether the desired changes occurred

Answer: (C)

Sharing information with community organizations to target areas and plan intervention strategies is a planning and collaboration step in the logic model. It uses data on where the cancer burden is highest to bring together local partners—such as health departments, clinics, and community groups—to decide where to focus efforts and what approaches to use. This step helps ensure that the planned interventions are tailored to the specific communities and geographic areas most in need, and it lays the groundwork for what will be done when the program is implemented.

The other steps fit different stages: identifying burden is the assessment or data-gathering stage that shows where problems exist; implementing is the actual execution of the planned actions; measuring outcomes is the evaluation stage that checks whether the intended changes occurred.
