Abstract: This is a revision request (OMB 0925-0663, expires 11/30/2015) for the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to conduct cognitive interviews and focus groups, to support the development of the Study’s questionnaires and other materials. The PATH Study is a national longitudinal cohort study of tobacco use behavior and health among the U.S. household population of adults age 18 and older and youth ages 12 to 17; the Study conducts annual interviews and collects biospecimens from adults to inform FDA’s regulatory actions under the Family Smoking Prevention and Control Act. Cognitive interviews and focus groups are qualitative methods to assess how people interpret, process, retrieve, and respond to phrases, questions, response options, and product images that may be used in the development of the PATH Study's questionnaires and other materials. These methods have previously been used to help the PATH Study improve the comprehensibility of its materials for Study participants, and to increase efficiencies in data collection and reduce duplication and its associated burden on participants and the public.

Annually there is an increase of 617 estimated burden hours, but over the three years it's 1851 burden hours between the generic clearance approved by OMB in 2012 (2,000) and the current revision request (2,617 and 7,851 over the three years). Factors accounting for the increase include the following: (1) addition of an activity, which is examination of concepts to be measured in the PATH Study; and (2) screening for respondents to participate in this activity.
