 A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Lipid Standardization in the United States

The logic model is a structured flow chart depicting program elements with arrows showing associations and causal pathways. The logic model flows from left to right with columns for inputs, activities, participation, and short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes. Arrows depict relationships between program elements in the same column group or the next group to the right.
