10.2.3 Measure(s) of Outcome

Literature or reports that describe the problem and intervention may also describe outcomes of the intervention. Measures of the Problem with psychometric properties may be found in descriptions of instrument development. Noting the way in which outcomes are reported (e.g. benchmark attainment, improvement) will assist in planning how measures may be used in your project. For example, for intervention effectiveness research: was there a difference in health equity (reduced disparities in health outcomes) among high risk mothers after public health nursing interventions? For quality improvement: was there a difference in the behavior of people who smoked cigarettes on admission to care after our QI PDSA cycle? For program evaluation: Was there a difference in obesity among people with diabetes who participated in the BMI reduction program? To search for outcomes measures in intervention effectiveness research, quality improvement activities, and program evaluation, you may find any of the previously mentioned key-words useful; and in addition, add the key words outcome, measure, and instrument. Identify several sources that describe the outcome measures, including change scores (PTime2-PTime1) and benchmarking (PTime2), as well as analysis methods, and note in the matrix. Use one row per source to abstract the data, and fill all applicable columns.
