Abstract: This information collection is intended to support research conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we). Understanding patients, consumers, and health care professionals' perceptions and behaviors regarding various issues and patient reported outcomes associated with the safety and administration of drug products plays an important role in improving FDA’s regulatory decisionmaking processes and communications.
