Non-Substantive Change Request for CTP Safety Reporting Portal Questionnaire

The Food and Drug Administration is requesting a non-substantive change request to OMB Control No. 0910-0645, which supports adverse event, product experience, and safety reporting associated with FDA-regulated products. The Safety Reporting Portal (SRP) is one of the systems we developed to collect data electronically. The SRP enables industry, health professionals, consumers, and others to report adverse events or problems associated with regulated products by completing web-based rational questionnaires (RQ) tailored to product categories. The information submitted through the SRP is routed to appropriate FDA components so that we have real time access to reports and are able to more rapidly analyze safety problems.

Below are proposed modifications to the rational questionnaire associated with tobacco products. We believe these revisions improve the clarity of the information being collected and will allow for corresponding technical enhancements that will facilitate FDA response. We are also proposing to remove certain questions previously approved that our evaluation suggests do not add to the utility of the information collection. By removing the questions we hope to further minimize burden on respondents.

1. Change "health-related problem" to "health problem" throughout

2. Revise LOV for “Type of Attachment.” One list for all CTP reporters.

3. Make optional - "Description of Attachment" and its associated free-text box.

4. Add four new values to “Healthcare Professional Type” and make it required.

5. Increase character limit on two fields (from 200 to 1000). Fields: “Describe who the problem was reported to” and “Additional notes about this report.”

6. Update text on Introduction page to provide clarification for reporters

7. Under race – Add value of “other”

8. Add a new question about the event location: “In what setting(s) did this problem occur?” (not required)

9. Change" Birth defect" value to "adverse pregnancy outcome including birth defects." Remove “Emergency room visit without hospital admission.

10. Treatment Received (select all that apply): Add: “Emergency room visit without hospital admission.”

11. Ability to deselect selections before saving.

12. Remove Cancel and Reactivate options from Follow-up reasons.

13. To help assure that registered reporters receive the SRP confirmation e-mail add the following line to the Report Submission Confirmation Page: Please contact SRPSupport@fda.hhs.gov, if you don’t receive a confirmation email from noreply.safetyreporting@hhs.gov.

14. "FDA-assigned protocol number" - change from not required to a required field.

15. Remove “Health problem” language from the following questions: How soon after the tobacco product was last used did the [health-delete] problem occur? And "Did this same or similar [ health-delete] problem happen again after repeat use of the tobacco product?"

16. Remove: Three questions on how FDA may share reporter identity with manufacturer/distributor, federal / state/local agencies. Retain the “did you report the problem to the manufacturer?” question.

17. Remove: Do you think this problem was caused by a particular package or unit of this product? (Yes or No)

18. Remove: In your opinion, how likely is it that the tobacco product part is related to the problem?
