Testing of communication messages in
advance of a communication campaign provides an important role in
improving FDA communications as they allow for an in-depth
understanding of individuals' attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and
feelings. The methods to be employed include individual in-depth
interviews, general public focus group interviews, intercept
interviews, self-administered surveys, gatekeeper surveys, and
professional clinician focus group interviews. FDA will use these
methods to test and refine its ideas and to help develop messages
and other communications but will generally conduct further
research before making important decisions, such as adopting new
policies and allocating or redirecting significant resources to
support these policies.

There are no program changes to
the information collection. However, we have made adjustments to
the burden hours and annual responses in keeping with the approval

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification

(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
