A Logic Model for the Integration of Mental Health into Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, (Lando, Williams, Williams, & Sturgis, 2006).
In 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a group of mental health and public health professionals to develop a logic model for addressing mental health as it relates to chronic disease prevention and health promotion. Published in the CDC-sponsored journal, Preventing Chronic Disease, the article provides details on the model's inputs, activities, and desired outcomes.

The REACH 2010 Logic Model: An Illustration of Expected Performance (Tucker, Liao, Giles, & Liburd, 2006).
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) supports 40 Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH 2010) community coalitions in designing, implementing and evaluating ways to eliminate health disparities in racial and ethnic groups. This article, published in Preventing Chronic Disease, describes the components of the REACH 2010 logic model, which was developed to illustrate REACH's theory of change.

The VERB™ Campaign Logic Model: A Tool for Planning and Evaluation (Huhman, Heitzler, & Wong, 2004).
The VERB campaign, an initiative to increase and sustain physical activity among children approaching adolescence (or "tweens"), uses a logic model as a tool to share information, to facilitate program planning, and to provide direction for evaluation. This Preventing Chronic Disease article both describes this logic model's components, and offers very brief summaries of theories related to branding, message design, planned behavior, social cognition and information processing.
