What are some potential challenges to implementing this program plan (e.g. access and equity issues, ethical issues)? Explain your response.

Discussion Topic 1: Program Logic and Program Theory
Using the readings, consider the benefits of developing both a program theory/theory of change and a logic model. What might be some of the risks of failing to specify a program theory?

Discussion Topic 1: The Mechanics of Program Implementation

According to the readings, communication (Central Sydney Area Health Service, 1994; Frieden, 2014) and stakeholder engagement (Perry et al, 1996) are important for the successful implementation of programs. Reflect on your own practice and describe the communication and stakeholder engagement methods you would use to build support for your health service or program among professionals? What methods would you use to support community engagement? What potential obstacles do you foresee in terms of implementation if communication and stakeholder engagement are absent?
