To evaluate the well-being costs of informal caregiving, you may consider the following:

Well-being indicators: Define and measure various aspects of caregiver well-being, including physical health, mental health (e.g., stress, anxiety, depression), social relationships, and overall life satisfaction.

Caregiver burden: Assess the specific burdens associated with caregiving, such as time commitment, financial strain, and emotional challenges, using validated scales (e.g., caregiver burden inventory).

Quality of life: Evaluate how caregiving impacts the quality of life of informal caregivers, including their ability to engage in personal activities, maintain social connections, and pursue leisure activities.

Comparative analysis: Compare the well-being of informal caregivers with non-caregivers to identify significant differences, while controlling for demographic factors such as age, gender, and socio-economic status, to gain insights into the specific costs of informal caregiving.

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?
