When evaluating the situation of an older adult who has suffered from domestic violence, here are five indicators that can be used:
1. Physical health and safety: Assess the older adult's physical health and safety. This can be measured through indicators such as visible signs of physical injuries, documented medical reports, or any ongoing health issues resulting from the violence. Additionally, evaluating their safety measures, such as having a secure living environment or utilizing restraining orders, can provide insights into their physical well-being.
2. Emotional well-being: Evaluate the older adult's emotional well-being. This can be assessed through indicators such as signs of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other mental health conditions resulting from domestic violence. Observations, self-reporting, or assessments by mental health professionals can be used to gauge their emotional state.
3. Social support system: Assess the older adult's social support system. This can include indicators such as the presence of a support network, including friends, family members, or support groups, that can provide emotional support and practical assistance. Evaluating the quality and strength of their support system can help determine the level of support available to them.
4. Financial dependence: Evaluate the older adult's financial dependence and resources. This can be measured through indicators such as their financial situation, access to financial resources, dependence on the abusive partner or caregiver for financial support, or control over their finances. Assessing their financial situation can provide insights into their ability to leave the abusive situation and establish financial independence.
5. Access to services and resources: Assess the older adult's access to necessary services and resources. This can include indicators such as access to legal services, counseling or therapy, shelters or safe housing options, and community resources for domestic violence survivors. Evaluating their access to these resources can help determine the level of support available to them in addressing the effects of domestic violence and ensuring their safety and 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?
