Following my previous question, when I searched for the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS), I found that it also has an abbreviated version with six items. Can I use the short version among older persons?

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?
