2/6
Perceived Efficacy is the non-scientific measure of how well people perceive a treatment to succeed in achieving its aim.
3/6
An example of Perceived Efficacy is our choice of COVID-19 vaccines. For example, why did some people choose Pfizer-BioNTech's mRNA vaccine over Moderna's mRNA vaccine?
4/6
Maybe because they read positive news stories about a successful trial of Pfizer-BioNTech's mRNA vaccine... Or maybe (for example) because they read negative news stories about a side-effect caused by Moderna's mRNA vaccine...
5/6
Perceived Efficacy is utilized by marketers to skew the public's perception of a brand or product - for good and bad.
