Yes. It depends on your research design and specific research questions. In quasi-experimental design, for example, other factors that may affect the outcomes can be controlled through random assignment.

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?
