When evaluating the aid and rehabilitation of drug abusers, consider the following five indicators:

Substance use reduction: Measure the extent to which drug abusers have reduced or ceased substance use. This indicator can include changes in frequency, quantity, or types of drugs used. Assessing substance use reduction provides valuable insight into the effectiveness of the aid and rehabilitation efforts.

Treatment engagement and retention: Evaluate the level of engagement and retention of individuals in the aid and rehabilitation programs. Measure indicators such as attendance rates, completion rates, and dropout rates. These indicators reflect the program's ability to effectively engage and maintain participants in the treatment process.

Psychosocial functioning: Assess improvements in psychosocial functioning among drug abusers. Measure indicators such as changes in mental health symptoms, emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, and overall quality of life. Utilize validated assessment tools, self-report surveys, or clinical evaluations to capture changes in psychosocial functioning.

Relapse prevention: Evaluate the effectiveness of relapse prevention strategies. Measure indicators such as the ability of individuals to maintain abstinence or avoid relapse after completing the aid and rehabilitation programs. Assess the utilization of coping skills, access to support networks, and engagement in aftercare services.

Social reintegration: Assess the successful reintegration of drug abusers into society. Measure indicators such as improvements in employment status, educational attainment, stable housing, and community involvement. Evaluate the individual's ability to rebuild social connections and engage in prosocial activities.

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?
