Following the previous post, suppose a new program targeting people with disabilities is on a pilot. Will the program evaluation help the social worker to decide whether to continue it or cease it?

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?
