To evaluate a program focused on the relationship between community social capital and self-reported oral health among older adults, consider the following points:

Social capital assessment: Measure community social capital using validated scales or surveys to assess the social networks, trust, and social cohesion among older adults in the program's target communities.

Self-reported oral health: Gather self-reported data on older adults' oral health through surveys or questionnaires. Measure their perceived oral health status, oral hygiene practices, dental care utilization, and overall satisfaction with their oral health.

Correlation analysis: Conduct statistical analysis to explore the relationship between community social capital and self-reported oral health among older adults. Examine the associations, if any, between social capital indicators and oral health outcomes.

Mediating factors: Investigate potential mediating factors that might influence the relationship between community social capital and self-reported oral health. Consider variables such as access to dental care, social support, oral health knowledge, and oral health behaviors.

Program satisfaction and feedback: Gather feedback from older adults participating in the program. Assess their satisfaction with the program, perceived impact on their oral health, and the extent to which community social capital played a role in their oral health outcomes.

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?
