Abstract: FDA regulations require prescription drug ads to contain accurate information about the benefits and risks of the drug advertised. When this is not the case, corrective advertising is designed to dissipate or correct erroneous beliefs resulting from a false claim. Corrective advertising is one remedy FDA may request in response to false or misleading prescription drug promotion. The current project will examine the influence of corrective messages in the realm of consumer directed prescription drug advertising. The study will investigate how variations in corrective advertising may influence consumers' product beliefs. Specifically, the study will focus on the following variables of interest: (1) exposure to corrective, (2) visual similarity between the original and corrective ads, and (3) time delay between the original and corrective ads. The study findings will inform FDA of relevant consumer issues relating to corrective DTC advertising.
