We have approved
this one-time information collection with the following
conditions:1) As agreed to by FDA, question 1 of the survey will be
revised to ask physicians whether someone else in their office
retrieves/reviews label data for the physicians' use. 2) FDA will
delete question 32, which asks respondents to agree or disagree
with a a statement about comparative drug information. This
information will be more useful if received as a voluntary response
via question 14. 3) To the extent allowable by the sample, FDA
should attempt to discer any systematic bias(es) that may arise,
according to specialty (e.g. ob/gyn, internal medicine,
pediatrics). Any such finding should be reported when discussing
these data.
