To evaluate a program focused on the experience of alcohol use and harm among older adults, consider the following points:

Surveys and interviews: Administer surveys or conduct interviews to gather data on the experiences of older adults regarding alcohol use. Explore their attitudes, behaviors, patterns of alcohol consumption, and perceived harms associated with alcohol use.

Alcohol-related harm assessment: Assess the program's impact on reducing alcohol-related harm among older adults. Measure changes in alcohol-related injuries, accidents, health consequences, mental health issues, and social consequences resulting from alcohol use.

Education and awareness: Evaluate the program's effectiveness in increasing knowledge and awareness about alcohol use and its potential risks among older adults. Measure changes in their understanding of safe alcohol consumption guidelines and the potential impact of alcohol on their health and well-being.

Support and intervention: Assess the program's provision of support and intervention for older adults experiencing alcohol-related problems. Measure changes in access to counseling, treatment, support groups, and other resources aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm and promoting recovery.

Program satisfaction and feedback: Gather feedback from older adults who participated in the program. Assess their satisfaction with the program, perceived effectiveness, and suggestions for improvement. Understand their perspectives on how the program impacted their alcohol use habits and overall well-being.

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?
