When evaluating a program aiming to investigate the interaction between children and mothers, here are five indicators that can be used:

1. Attachment and bonding: Assess the quality and strength of the attachment and bonding between mothers and children. This can be measured through indicators such as the child's secure base behavior, separation distress, and the mother's sensitivity and responsiveness to the child's needs.
2. Emotional expression and communication: Evaluate the child's emotional expression and communication patterns with their mother. This can be assessed by observing indicators such as the child's ability to express emotions, engage in reciprocal communication, and understand and respond to the mother's verbal and nonverbal cues.
3. Positive reinforcement and encouragement: Measure the extent to which mothers provide positive reinforcement and encouragement to their children. This can be assessed by observing indicators such as the mother's use of praise, affirmation, and supportive language, as well as her ability to provide a nurturing and affirming environment that promotes the child's self-esteem and motivation.
4. Shared activities and play: Evaluate the level of shared activities and play between mothers and children. This can be measured by observing indicators such as joint attention, cooperative play, and the mother's involvement in age-appropriate play activities that promote the child's cognitive, social, and physical development.
5. Conflict resolution and problem-solving: Assess the mother's ability to engage in constructive conflict resolution and problem-solving with the child. This can be evaluated by observing indicators such as the mother's use of effective communication strategies, negotiation skills, and the ability to teach the child appropriate problem-solving techniques.

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?
