Generic Clearance for Quick Turnaround Testing of Communication Effectiveness

This information collection request supports FDA programs by creating an information collection for the development of a “Generic Clearance for Quick Turnaround Testing of Communication Effectiveness.” Section 1003(d)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)) authorizes the FDA to conduct food research and educational and public information programs relating to the safety of the nation’s food supply. The generic studies covered by this request will be used to test FDA communications and educational messages related to FDA-regulated food, infant formula, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed when there is a need for a quick OMB clearance turnaround during matters requiring urgent public health communications. Collecting information from consumers and other stakeholders during urgent public health matters will help ensure that FDA’s messaging has reached the target audience and has been understood. Data will be collected using self-report web-based surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one in-depth interviews.
