In fact, if RCTs are doable, it is more convincing. However, due to budget constraints and other factors, we frequently find ourselves unable to carry out an RCT study in practice. Consequently, it is also advised to use a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent comparison group.

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?
