The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was authorized by the Highway Safety Act of 1966 to carry out a Congressional mandate to reduce the mounting number of deaths, injuries and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on our Nation’s highways. In support of this mission, NHTSA is requesting generic clearance to conduct information collections in the form of Focus Group Studies over the next three years. These studies are necessary to develop and refine NHTSA’s problem identification, messaging, resource development, and strategic approaches. Focus groups are an important information gathering technique because they allow for more in-depth understanding of the driving public’s beliefs, attitudes, motivations, and self-reported behaviors than do other kinds of studies. Focus groups are essential to obtain drivers’ reactions to different technologies, public information materials, and countermeasure strategies. They are used to gather suggestions on how to design countermeasure strategies or highway safety programs. Focus group sessions are narrowly defined to provide direct and informal feedback on a specific topic. The information obtained from focus groups complement other research findings (e.g. crash data, citations and arrests) by providing a window into the thinking, motivations, and understanding of drivers and others about traffic safety and various potential countermeasures to enhance safety.
