To evaluate a program focused on investigating barriers to the access of people with disabilities to health services, consider the following five key points:

Barrier identification: Conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify the barriers faced by people with disabilities in accessing health services. This can be achieved through surveys, interviews, focus groups, or observations. Collect data on various aspects such as physical barriers, communication barriers, attitudinal barriers, financial barriers, and systemic barriers. Identify the specific challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and categorize the barriers accordingly.

Quantitative analysis: Analyze quantitative data to measure the prevalence and impact of identified barriers. Quantify the frequency and severity of each barrier to determine the extent of its impact on access to health services. Utilize statistical techniques to identify patterns, trends, and associations between different types of barriers and demographic factors such as age, gender, type of disability, or geographic location.

Qualitative exploration: Conduct qualitative research to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of individuals with disabilities. Utilize interviews, focus groups, or open-ended survey questions to capture personal narratives and lived experiences related to accessing health services. Analyze the qualitative data to identify common themes, underlying causes, and potential solutions to address the identified barriers.

Comparative analysis: Compare the experiences of people with disabilities accessing health services to those without disabilities. Evaluate whether there are significant differences in the barriers faced by individuals with disabilities compared to the general population. Analyze data from both groups to ascertain any disparities or inequalities in access to health services and identify the specific challenges faced by individuals with disabilities.

Recommendations and solutions: Based on the findings from the evaluation, develop recommendations and solutions to address the identified barriers. Propose strategies to improve physical accessibility, enhance communication methods, reduce stigma and discrimination, develop inclusive policies, and provide financial support. Ensure that the recommendations are practical, actionable, and tailored to the specific barriers identified in the program evaluation.

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?
