I am unclear on what you mean in the question, but I suppose you want to know how to justify the internal validity of an SSRD. Internal validity means that the intervention changes the dependent variable, and extraneous factors do not influence the outcome of the intervention. When the results are attributed with little or no vagueness to the impact of the intervention, the experiment is deemed to be internally valid. The following questions may help you assess the internal validity:
a. Are data showing client improvement after the intervention?
b. Are data demonstrating client deterioration?
c. Do the data depict no change?
d. Are the data unclear?

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?
