Currently, the best-known and most often used model is the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. It is comprised of nine phases or steps. The first five phases, which make up the PRECEDE portion of the model, are used for diagnosis. The last four phases, the PROCEED portion, are for implementation and evaluation (process, impact, and outcome) steps. The approach in this model is to identify the desired outcome and work backwards to determine the cause that would lead to this desired outcome.

In particular, we are looking for a framework that combines population health and health promotion. We have the Bhatti and Hamilton Population Health Promotion model but are also interested in other models. Any ideas?
