ORIGINAL RESEARCH
A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Lipid Standardization in the United States
The logic model is a structured flow chart
depicting program elements with arrows showing associations and causal pathways.
The logic model flows from left to right with columns for inputs, activities,
participation, and short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes. Arrows depict
relationships between program elements in the same column group or the next
group to the right.

principal investigator; QALY,
quality-adjusted life-year.
