Social impact research focuses on measuring and evaluating the effects of various social interventions, programs, policies, and initiatives on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. This field aims to understand the ways in which these interventions can create positive or negative changes in areas such as health, education, poverty, inequality, and the environment. Social impact research often uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the outcomes and impacts of social interventions, with the goal of informing future decision-making and policy development.
