To evaluate the effectiveness of a program called Mutual Aid Centre for Single-Parent Families, consider the following five points:

Participant outcomes: Measure the outcomes of the program for single-parent families who have participated. Assess indicators such as improvements in their financial stability, access to resources, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Track changes in participants' circumstances before and after their involvement in the program to determine the program's impact on their lives.

Support network strength: Evaluate the development and strength of support networks among single-parent families within the program. Measure indicators such as the number and quality of connections formed between participants, their engagement in mutual aid activities, and their ability to provide support to one another. A strong support network suggests the program's success in fostering a sense of community and mutual assistance.

Service utilization: Assess the extent to which single-parent families engage with and utilize the services provided by the Mutual Aid Centre. Measure indicators such as the number of families accessing various services, their frequency of use, and their satisfaction with the support received. Evaluate the program's effectiveness in meeting the diverse needs of single-parent families.

Program engagement: Evaluate the level of participant engagement and active involvement in the program's activities. Measure indicators such as attendance rates at workshops, training sessions, or support groups, as well as participation in community events or initiatives organized by the program. Higher levels of engagement indicate the program's impact in fostering participation and empowerment among single-parent families.

Long-term stability and resilience: Monitor the long-term stability and resilience of single-parent families who have participated in the program. Assess indicators such as their ability to sustain positive changes over time, their capacity to overcome challenges, and their overall resilience as a result of the program's support. Evaluate whether the program equips families with the skills and resources needed to thrive independently in the long run.

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?
