Abstract: In order to conduct educational and public information programs relating to tobacco use, as authorized by section 1003(d)(2)(D) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)(D)), and to develop stronger health warnings on tobacco packaging as authorized by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act), it is beneficial for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct research and studies relating to the control and prevention of disease as authorized by section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C 241(a)). In this generic collection of information, FDA will use formative pretests to assess the likely effectiveness of tobacco communications with specific target audiences. The information collected will serve two major purposes: (1) It will provide the critical knowledge needed about target audiences and the decisionmaking process when choosing to use, not use, or quit using tobacco products, including adolescents (ages 13 to 17) where communications will aim to discourage tobacco use before it starts. (2) It will allow FDA to assess the potential effectiveness of messages and materials in reaching and successfully communicating with their intended audiences. Pretesting messages with a sample of the target audience will allow FDA to refine messages while they are still in the developmental stage.
