OK: 1. Research on treatments should follow a pathway. It’s meant to begin with efficacy “can it work?” along with mechanistic studies on “how does it work?”. Once efficacy has been established, it’s time to move on to effectiveness “does it work for in the intended population”? 2. Efficacy studies are your classic placebo-controlled trial: ideal conditions, high internal validity. I think people misunderstand the role of efficacy studies. We don’t need many of these to answer “can it work?”.
