Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is requesting approval of a new generic for collecting information through the use of qualitative methods for studies about tobacco products. FDA will employ qualitative research, including individual in-depth interviews (IDIs), small group discussions, and focus groups to explore knowledge and perceptions about tobacco-related topics with specific target audiences. FDA will only submit an individual generic collection for approval under this generic clearance if the individual collection meets the outlined conditions.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 384,248 hours and a corresponding increase of 314,926 responses. We attribute this adjustment to the number of study responses used during the current approval and now estimated for the next three years. A greater number of qualitative studies will be conducted over the next three years due to the need to develop new creative messages and content. Recent years have seen a dramatic change in media. With the shift to digital media, FDA must adapt to communicate effectively in a digital environment. As digital tobacco use prevention/interventions are still in their infancy, we must better understand the types of digital channels available. To impact public health outcomes, we need to understand how to reach our intended audience. New foundational studies are needed (including those on digital metrics, measurement, and implementation). Additionally, we have also updated the cost burden estimate based on current Bureau of Labor and Statistics salary figures.
