Welcome to the Media and Health Survey!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is developing education programs that aim to improve the health of youth and young adults.

• Paperwork Reduction Act Statement: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0910-0810. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 5 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspects of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing burden to PRASTAFF@fda.hhs.gov.

• You are being asked to answer a few questions to see if you are eligible for a study of youth in the United States.

• You may only complete this questionnaire one time.

• It will only take about 5 minutes to see if you are eligible.

• If we determine you are eligible, you will have the opportunity to continue and complete an additional online survey for a $10 electronic gift card.

• You may only take that survey one time and you will only receive one $10 electronic gift card if you complete it. If we find that you have completed the survey more than once, you may not receive a gift card. Once we complete this check, we will send you a $10 electronic gift card to the email address you provide. The gift card will be sent within 1-2 weeks.

• Your answers to the questions will be kept private to the fullest extent allowable by law and your participation is voluntary. Please read our privacy policy before continuing.
