To evaluate a program focused on food insecurity and mental health, consider the following:

Assess changes in food security status among participants using validated tools like the USDA Food Security Survey to quantify improvements.

Evaluate mental health outcomes by administering standardized assessments, such as the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), before and after program participation.

Analyze the relationship between food security and mental health by conducting statistical analyses to identify correlations and potential causative factors.

Gather qualitative feedback from participants to understand personal experiences and perceived impacts of food insecurity on their mental health.

Monitor long-term effects by conducting follow-up assessments to evaluate sustained changes in food security and mental health outcomes over time.

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?
