PRECEDE-PROCEED model

The PRECEDE-PROCEED model is a structured planning framework used to design and evaluate health and social programs. It guides professionals through understanding the community’s needs, factors influencing behavior, and environmental conditions (PRECEDE), then helps develop, implement, and assess interventions (PROCEED). Essentially, it starts with identifying issues and their causes, then moves to creating targeted solutions, ensuring efforts are effective and tailored to the community’s unique context. It promotes a systematic approach to improving health outcomes by thoroughly analyzing factors before action.
