Comprehensive opioid, stimulant, and substance use program (COSSUP) is broken down into a logic model including its overview, outputs, short-term goals, long0term goals, funding, and more to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.

This assignment takes a look at two programs, one being in North Carolina and the other in Pennsylvania. By breaking down the two programs into their overview, outputs, and short- and long-term goals, we are able to discuss the effectiveness of the programs. One of the programs goes further to take a look at outside factors that may have an impact on the effectiveness of the program at any given time.
