Which term refers to a measure administered after the intervention to assess outcomes?

When you want to see what outcomes occurred after an intervention, you administer a measurement again after the program ends. That after-the-intervention assessment is called a posttest. It lets you gauge changes by comparing outcomes before and after the intervention. Baseline refers to the initial measurement before any intervention starts, establishing where you began. A pretest is another term for an assessment given before the intervention, often used interchangeably with baseline. Time logs are records of activity or time spent, not a direct measure of outcomes.
