Abstract
Logic models are simplified graphics that guide the development and evaluation of complex interventions. This paper describes a logic model for an online intervention to improve coping and quality of life after bereavement. A combination approach to intervention development was used. Evidence was synthesized in iterative cycles from: (i) research literature; (ii) interviews with therapists; (iii) workshops with bereaved people; (iv) workshops with bereavement support professionals; and (v) expertise of the research team. The logic model illustrated the links between: risk factors for and indicators of grief support needs, contextual considerations for online interventions, intervention components, change mechanisms, short and long term intended outcomes at the individual and organizational level, as well as broader impacts. The logic model guided the intervention development process, fostering collaboration and synthesis of multiple sources. The description of the process will be useful to other intervention developers.
