To evaluate a program focused on conceptualizing health-seeking behaviors among adolescents and youth with substance use disorder, consider the following points:

Knowledge and awareness: Assess the program's impact on increasing adolescents' and youth's knowledge and awareness of health-seeking behaviors related to substance use disorder. Measure improvements in their understanding of available treatment options, harm reduction strategies, and the importance of seeking help.

Attitudes and beliefs: Evaluate changes in participants' attitudes and beliefs towards help-seeking for substance use disorder. Measure shifts in stigmatizing attitudes, perceived barriers to treatment, and the recognition of the benefits of early intervention and professional support.

Help-seeking intentions: Assess participants' intentions to seek help for substance use disorder. Measure changes in their willingness to reach out to healthcare professionals, support groups, or helpline services for assistance and treatment.

Program implementation: Evaluate the program's effectiveness in facilitating access to appropriate resources and services. Measure the program's impact on participants' utilization of treatment centers, counseling services, peer support groups, or other relevant healthcare providers.

Participant feedback: Gather feedback from program participants regarding their satisfaction with the program, its relevance to their needs, and perceived effectiveness in conceptualizing health-seeking behaviors. Assess participants' overall perception of the program's impact on their attitudes, intentions, and actions related to seeking help for substance use disorder.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
