In the early 1990s the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC, US Department of Health and Human Services) gave additional national prominence to the PRECEDE model. Dr. Marshall Kreuter, Director of the Division of Chronic Disease Control and Community Intervention and his staff adapted and incorporated PRECEDE within a model planning process offered with federal technical assistance to state and local health departments for work with their coalitions to plan and evaluate health promotion programs. The CDC model was called ''PATCH'', for Planned Approach to Community Health. The relevance of this initiative to the application of PRECEDE, and the inspiration for some of the extensions of the (PATCH) model to incorporate PROCEED dimensions was detailed in a special issue of the Journal of Health Education in 1992.<ref name="GreenKr92">Green, L.W., Kreuter, M.W.

===Phase 1 – socialSocial diagnosis===

The first stage in the program planning phase deals with identifying and evaluating the social problems that have an impact onaffect the quality of life of a population of interest. Social assessment is the "application, through broad participation, of multiple sources of information, both objective and subjective, designed to expand the mutual understanding of people regarding their aspirations for the common good".<ref name="Green05" /> During this stage, the program planners try to gain an understanding of the social problems that affect the quality of life of the community and its members, their strengths, weaknesses, and resources; and their readiness to change. This is done through various activities such as developing a planning committee, holding community forums, and conducting [[focus groupsgroup]]s, surveys[[Survey (human research)|survey]]s, and/or interviews[[interview]]s. These activities will engage the audiencebeneficiaries in the planning process and the planners will be able to see the issues just as the community sees those problemsthem.

===Phase 2 – epidemiologicalEpidemiological, behavioral, and environmental diagnosis===

''Epidemiological diagnosis'' – Epidemiological assessment deals with determining and focusing on specific health issue(s) of the community, and the behavioral and environmental factors related to prioritized health needs of the community. Based on these priorities, achievable program goals and objectives for the program being developed are then established.<ref name="Green05" /> Epidemiological assessment may include secondary data analysis or original data collection. Examples— examples of epidemiological data include [[vital statistics (government records)|vital statistics]], state and national health surveys, medical and administrative records, etc. Genetic factors, although not directly changeable through a health promotion program, are becoming increasingly important in understanding health problems and counseling people with genetic risks, or may be useful in identifying high-risk groups for intervention.<ref name="Green05" /><ref name="Gielen08" />

''Behavioral diagnosis'' –— This is the analysis of behavioral links to the goals or problems that are identified in the social or epidemiological diagnosis. The behavioral ascertainment of a health issue is understood, firstly, through those behaviors that exemplify the severity of the disease (e.g. tobacco use among teenagers).; Secondlysecondly, through the behavior of the individuals who directly affect the individual at risk – for example(e.g. parents of the teenagers who keep cigarettes at home.); and Thirdlythirdly, through the actions of the decision-makers that affects the environment of the individuals at risk, such as(e.g. law enforcement actions that restrict the teenteens's access to cigarettes). Once behavioral diagnosis is completed for each health problem identified, the planner is able to develop more specific and effective interventions.

''Environmental diagnosis'' –— This is a parallel analysis of social and physical environmental factors other than specific actions that could be linked to behaviors. In this assessment, environmental factors beyond the control of the individual are modified to influence the health outcome. For example, poor nutritional status among school children may be due to the availability of unhealthful foods in school. This may require not only educational interventions, but also additional strategies such as influencing the behaviors of thea school's food service managers.

===Phase 3 – educationalEducational and ecological diagnosis===

Once the behavioral and environmental factors are identified and interventions are selected, planners can start to work on selecting factors that, if modified, will be most likely to result in behavior change, andas canwell as sustain this change processit. These factors are classified as 1) predisposing factors, 2) enabling factors, and 3) reinforcing factors.<ref name="Green05" /><ref name="Gielen08" />

''Predisposing factors'' are any characteristics of a person or population that motivatesmotivate behavior prior to or during the occurrence of that behavior.<ref name="Green05" /> They include an individual's knowledge, beliefs, values, and attitudes.

''Enabling factors'' are those characteristics of the environment that facilitate action and any skill or resource required to attain specific behavior.<ref name="Green05" /> They include programs, services, availability and accessibility of resources, or new skills required to enable behavior change.

''Reinforcing factors'' are rewards or punishments following or anticipated as a consequence of a behavior.<ref name="Green05" /> They serve to strengthen the motivation for a behavior. Some of the reinforcing factors include social support, peer support, etc.

===Phase 4 – administrativeAdministrative and policy diagnosis===

This phase focuses on the administrative and organizational concerns, whichthat must be addressed prior to program implementation. This includes assessment of resources, development and allocation of budgetbudgets, looking at organizational barriers, and coordination of the program with all other departments, including external organizations and the community. These are detailed further in Green & Ottoson.<ref name="GreenOt08">Green L.W., Ottoson J.M. (2008). Public health education and health promotion. In L.F. Novick, C.B. Morrow, & G.P. Mays (eds.). ''Public Health Administration: Principles for Population-Based Management''. Boston: Jones & Bartlett Publishers, pp. 589–620</ref>

''Administrative Diagnosisdiagnosis'' assessassesses policies, resources, circumstances, and prevailing organizational situations that could hinder or facilitate the development of the health program.

''Policy Diagnosisdiagnosis'' assesses the compatibility of the program goals and objectives with those of the organization and its administration. This evaluates whether the program goals fit into the mission statements, rules and regulations that are needed for the implementation and sustainability of the program.

===Phase 5 – implementationImplementation of the program===

{{empty section|date=February 2025}}

===Phase 6 – processProcess evaluation===

This phase is used to evaluate the process by which the program is being implemented. This phase determines whether the program is being implemented according to the protocol, and determines whether the objectives of the program are being met. It also helps identify modifications that may be needed to improve the program.

===Phase 7 – impactImpact evaluation===

This phase measures the effectiveness of the program with regards to the intermediate objectives as well as the changes in predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors. Often this phase is used to evaluate the performance of educators.

===Phase 8 – outcomeOutcome evaluation===

This phase measures change in terms of overall objectives andas well as changes in health and social benefits or the quality of life. That is, it determines the effect of the program had in the health and quality of life of the community.

== Conclusion==

The PRECEDE–PROCEED model is a participatory model for creating successful community health promotion and other public health interventions. It is based on the premise that behavior change is by and large voluntary, and that health programs are more likely to be effective if they are planned and evaluated with the active participation of those people who will have to implement them, and those who are affected by them. Thus, it looks at health and other issues must be looked at inwithin the context of the community.
