When evaluating a program aiming to investigate the effect of intergenerational interaction, here are five indicators that can be used:
1. Knowledge transfer: Measure the extent to which knowledge and skills are transferred between different generations. This can be assessed by evaluating indicators such as the acquisition of new knowledge or skills by younger participants from older generations, and the transmission of cultural or traditional practices from older participants to younger generations.
2. Social connection and relationship building: Evaluate the impact of intergenerational interaction on social connections and relationship building. This can be measured by assessing indicators such as the development of meaningful relationships, increased social support networks, and enhanced understanding and empathy across different age groups.
3. Attitudes and stereotypes: Assess the program's influence on challenging age-related stereotypes and promoting positive attitudes towards different generations. This can be evaluated through pre- and post-program surveys or interviews measuring indicators such as changes in participants' perceptions, attitudes, and stereotypes towards older or younger generations.
4. Well-being and quality of life: Measure the effect of intergenerational interaction on the well-being and quality of life of participants. This can be assessed through indicators such as improved mental and emotional well-being, increased life satisfaction, and enhanced social connectedness and sense of belonging.
5. Intergenerational activities and collaboration: Evaluate the level of engagement in intergenerational activities and collaboration. This can be measured by observing indicators such as participation rates, frequency, and quality of interactions between different age groups, as well as the outcomes or products resulting from intergenerational collaboration.

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?
