Measuring disability has proven problematic mainly due to the use of differing definitions and parameters. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) describes the outcome of disability at three different levels (WHO, 2001). Firstly, as an impairment of a body function or structure; secondly; in terms of limitations of activities; and, finally, in terms of participation restrictions. This framework acknowledges the complexity of defining disability and has great potential for the collection of meaningful disability data.

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?
