Social work and child welfare practitioners have long confronted the reality that child maltreatment and domestic violence often coexist within families. However, services for the victims of these types of family violence have been fragmented, forcing victims to go to multiple agencies for assistance. The purpose of this paper is to describe the program theory and logic model developed to guide evaluation of the St. Louis County Greenbook Collaboration to Address Domestic Violence & Child Maltreatment, together with an assessment of the use of this approach as applied to a comprehensive community initiative. Both the program theory guiding the collaboration and the logic model developed from the program theory are described. Data are drawn from qualitative documents produced in conjunction with collaboration participants. The findings suggest that a program theory and logic model approach to program planning is difficult to develop with large collaborations. Such methods may not be useful to program stakeholders. Further, attempting to use a graphic to portray a program may do a disservice to the complex ways in which many of the strategies and outcomes overlap in a community-wide collaboration.
长期以来，社会工作者和儿童福利从业者一直面临着这样一个现实：儿童虐待和家庭暴力在家庭中常常同时存在。然而，针对这类家庭暴力受害者的服务一直是分散的，这迫使受害者要向多个机构寻求帮助。本文的目的是描述为指导对圣路易斯县《绿皮书》解决家庭暴力与儿童虐待合作项目的评估而制定的项目理论和逻辑模型，同时评估这种方法在一项综合性社区倡议中的应用情况。文中既描述了指导该合作项目的项目理论，也阐述了从该项目理论衍生出的逻辑模型。数据取自与合作参与者共同生成的定性文件。研究结果表明，对于大型合作项目而言，制定用于项目规划的项目理论和逻辑模型方法难度较大。此类方法可能对项目利益相关者并无用处。此外，试图用图表来描绘一个项目，可能会对社区范围内的合作中许多策略和成果相互重叠的复杂方式造成损害。
