To evaluate a program focused on health equity for persons with disabilities, consider the following five key points:

Accessibility assessment: Conduct an assessment of the program's accessibility for persons with disabilities. Evaluate physical accessibility, such as ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms, to ensure that individuals with mobility impairments can access program facilities. Assess communication accessibility by providing alternative formats, sign language interpretation, or assistive technologies to accommodate individuals with hearing or visual impairments. Consider the program's adherence to accessibility standards and guidelines.

Participant satisfaction: Gather feedback from program participants to assess their satisfaction and experiences. Administer surveys or conduct interviews to measure participant satisfaction with the program's services, accommodations, and support provided for persons with disabilities. Evaluate if the program meets their specific needs and promotes their health equity. Use qualitative data to capture personal narratives and perspectives.

Inclusion and representation: Evaluate the program's efforts to promote inclusion and representation of persons with disabilities. Assess if the program actively involves individuals with disabilities in decision-making processes, program planning, and implementation. Consider the representation of persons with disabilities in program materials, promotional activities, and leadership positions. Evaluate the extent to which the program reflects the diverse experiences of persons with disabilities.

Health outcomes: Measure the impact of the program on health outcomes for persons with disabilities. Assess changes in health status, healthcare utilization, and access to healthcare services. Analyze quantitative data on indicators such as self-reported health, functional limitations, chronic conditions management, and preventive care utilization. Compare health outcomes between program participants and a control group, if possible.

Systemic change: Evaluate the program's influence on systemic change and policy development. Assess if the program has contributed to changes in healthcare policies, practices, or guidelines to promote health equity for persons with disabilities. Evaluate the program's collaboration with government agencies, healthcare providers, and community organizations to advocate for improved accessibility and inclusion. Assess if the program has influenced broader societal attitudes and perceptions toward persons with disabilities.

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?
