Abstract

Logic models are simplified graphics that guide the development and evaluation ofcomplex interventions. This paper describes a logic model for an online interventionto improve coping and quality of life after bereavement. A combination approach tointervention development was used. Evidence was synthesized in iterative cyclesfrom: (i) research literature; (ii) interviews with therapists; (iii) workshops withbereaved people; (iv) workshops with bereavement support professionals; and (v)expertise of the research team. The logic model illustrated the links between: riskfactors for and indicators of grief support needs, contextual considerations for onlineinterventions, intervention components, change mechanisms, short and long termintended outcomes at the individual and organizational level, as well as broaderimpacts. The logic model guided the intervention development process, fosteringcollaboration and synthesis of multiple sources. The description of the process will beuseful to other intervention developers.
