Outcomes vs. Outputs
Outcomes
The effect the process has had on the people targeted by it. These might include, for example, changes in their self-perceived health status or changes in the distribution of determinants of health, or factors which are known to affect their health, well-being and quality of life.
Outputs
The products or results of the process. These might include, for example, how many people a project has affected, their ages and ethnic groups or the number of meetings held and the ways in which the findings of the project are disseminated.
