Evaluating the psychological impacts of extreme weather on older adults requires:
1. Mental health assessments: Use standardized scales (e.g., GAD-7, PHQ-9) to measure anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms following extreme weather events.
2. Coping behavior tracking: Monitor adaptive strategies (e.g., social support seeking, problem-solving) and maladaptive responses (e.g., social withdrawal) through interviews or diaries.
3. Long-term follow-up: Conduct longitudinal studies to assess delayed effects (e.g., climate anxiety, resilience changes) and how pre-existing health conditions influence vulnerability.

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?
