This study will examine how oncology
prescription drug indications are communicated to consumers in
direct-to-consumer (DTC) promotional materials. We plan to conduct
two rounds of in-person one-hour cognitive interviews (N = 9 in
each), two pretests (N = 60 in each), and two main studies (N = 700
in Study 1; N = 520 in Study 2) not longer than 20 minutes,
administered via Internet panel. In the first cognitive interview,
pretest, and main study, we will vary the indication (hematology or
solid tumor), the clinical endpoint (overall survival, overall
response rate, or progression-free survival), and the presence of a
disclosure in a television ad for a fictitious oncology
prescription drug. In the second cognitive interview, pretest, and
main study, we will vary the indication (hematology or solid tumor)
and the presentation of material information in audio and
superimposed text in a television ad for a fictitious oncology
prescription drug. In each study, participants will view the
television ad and then answer questions about the drug
information.
Based on cognitive interviews
and pretesting, we made several revisions to the study materials
and updated the burden chart to reflect the actual pretest burden
and the revised estimated burden for the main studies.
