Abstract: The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act authorizes FDA to conduct educational and public information programs (21 U.S.C. Section 393(d)(2)(D)). FDA is requesting OMB approval for collecting information through the use of focus groups for studies involving drug products that are regulated by FDA. FDA plans to conduct these studies annually on a variety of topics related to regulated drug products. Each study will include a variable number of groups, potentially representing different geographic and educational strata. Each focus group includes a certain number of participants and takes approximately 1.75 hours.
