Logic models are popular and relatively easy to use, and they are very useful for reducing a complicated program to a set of meaningful, manageable components (Chen, 2015).The logic model was used for representation to illustrate the overall summary of the program and describe what the program aims to achieve. Logic models display the program assumptions, inputs, target population, activities, outputs, and outcomes. The whole logic model for LCHS can be found in Appendix (b), figure 2 shows the portion of the logic model that was focused on for this particular process evaluation. The activities portion of this logic model gives insight on all of the community partnerships that LCHS made in order to provide services for its clients. These services were provided to clients in order to equip these women with the tools that promote leadership and enable to be ready to contribute to society and their families.

Also, this process evaluation will identify the programs, strengths weaknesses, and areas that need to be improved. The major evaluation questions asked were (1) who is at risk of chronic disease? (2) what are the risk factors associated with chronic disease? (3) what services are provided by LCHS to address chronic disease? (4) who attend these services? (5) were any changes seen within the clients health due to provided
