A. Introduction/Warm up

3 min

Introduction
Welcome and thank you for agreeing to participate today. We have asked you here today to talk
about the label for drug that may become available over-the-counter, which means that no
prescription will be needed.
Ground Rules:
• Explain we are audio-recording and if the interview is being observed
• Explain there are no right or wrong answers, active part in the interview – asking indepth questions, not just yes/no/ varying answers
• Explain that we need their honest input and feedback
• Explain the moderator does not work for the company who makes the drug or write the
directions that they will look at
• Put respondent at ease about this topic and this drug
o There are other people of all potential user groups included in interviews
o We are not intending to sell or influence them; need their input.
o We are not going to ask questions about their personal use of any drugs in this
interview.
• Explain purpose: OTC products give different types of warnings and directions on the
label and we need their help to make sure that this product can be used safely and
appropriately - looking more for someone to help us assess the label
