Baseline
A baseline is an initial measurement or description of a condition to which subsequent changes are compared.
Definition
Without a baseline, it is difficult to judge whether there has been progress, deterioration or an effect of the intervention. It may concern mood, sleep, number of activities performed, stress level, working hours or behavior. A good baseline is specific, repeatable, and measured before change begins.
