program efficacy

conclusions drawn about program outcomes from testing an intervention under closely controlled scientific conditions, which may narrowly define the type of individual receiving services, the nature of services offered, and so forth. Because this method involves the provision of services under conditions that are very different from everyday real-world service delivery, there are dangers that it may not achieve a high degree of external validity.
