efficacyboundaries
Efficacy boundaries refer to the limitations on how effective an intervention, treatment, or strategy can be under ideal or controlled conditions. These boundaries represent the maximum possible benefit that can be achieved, assuming perfect adherence, optimal delivery, and the absence of confounding factors. In research, particularly in clinical trials, efficacy is often assessed in a highly controlled setting to isolate the true effect of the intervention. This contrasts with effectiveness, which measures how well an intervention works in real-world, less controlled circumstances.
Understanding efficacy boundaries is crucial for setting realistic expectations and for evaluating the potential of new
The concept of efficacy boundaries helps researchers and practitioners differentiate between the theoretical best-case scenario and
