Testing of communication messages in
advance of a communication campaign provides an important role in
improving FDA communications as they allow for an in-depth
understanding of individuals' attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and
feelings. The methods to be employed include individual in-depth
interviews, general public focus group interviews, intercept
interviews, self-administered surveys, gatekeeper surveys, and
professional clinician focus group interviews. FDA will use these
methods to test and refine its ideas and to help develop messages
and other communications but will generally conduct further
research before making important decisions, such as adopting new
policies and allocating or redirecting significant resources to
support these policies.
The Food and Drug
Administration is submitting this nonmaterial/non-substantive
change request (83-I) to add 9,500 burden hours and 20,500 annual
responses. This generic clearance was originally thought to include
projects originating in only the Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research but because various programs within FDA deal with drug
products we experienced more use of this generic approval then
anticipated and, therefore, require an increase in hours until the
expiration date in 2017.
