Efficacy and Effectiveness

There is a distinction between efficacy and effectivness. Efficacy is how well the measure shows in research conditions. Effectiveness is how well the program does in the real world. The documents in this section speak about "briding the gap" and other elements of the two terms.

These are the papers that discuss the distinction between efficacy and effectiveness:
