Focus Groups About Drug Products As Used by The Food and Drug Administration

This ICR supports the guidance for industry entitled “Focus Groups About Drug Products as Used by the Food and Drug Administration” on the information collection resulting from focus groups about drug products as used by FDA. Focus groups provide an important role in gathering information because they allow for a more in-depth understanding of individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and feelings than do quantitative studies. Focus groups serve the narrowly defined need for direct and informal opinion on a specific topic and, as a qualitative research tool, have three major purposes: (1) to obtain information that is useful for developing variables and measures for quantitative studies; (2) to better understand people’s attitudes and emotions in response to topics and concepts; and (3) to further explore findings obtained from quantitative studies.
