to be exact, outcome refers to the change that has occurred as a result of a program. Impacts are the broader changes that occur within the community, organisation, society, or environment as a result of program outcomes.

An outcome is a short-term one for the participant. By contrast, the impact can be more general, including long-term, unplanned one, not just on the participant, but on the non-participant as well.

Following the previous question, I am confused about there’s no obvious change in applications for family crisis support under the pandemic. Could anyone kindly help me with it?

Hello. As you may be also aware, there may be more victims of domestic violence during the pandemic as people have to stay home and there’s no place to get away from families disputes or fights. Therefore, I am very curious about how many people have applied for the services of the Family Crisis Support Center. Does anyone know that number in 2020?

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?
