Nhtsa 5-star Label Consumer Research
OMB 2127-0762 · DOT/NHTSA.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeks to obtain critical information that will allow NHTSA and the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) to fulfill a congressional mandate to improve highway traffic safety. As NCAP is responsible for providing consumers with important safety information that will assist them in their vehicle purchase decisions, this research will be used to gather data to enhance the usefulness of that safety rating information and guide potential redesign of the Government 5-Star Safety Ratings section of the Monroney label (vehicle window sticker) accordingly. In this collection of information, NHTSA is seeking approval to conduct qualitative research using focus groups in four markets located across the country. The research will evaluate a variety of concept executions to explore both graphical and text-based communications as potential modifications to the Government 5-Star Safety Ratings section of the Monroney label with the intent of finding the most effective way to display information related to vehicle safety. This information collection will involve a one-time, voluntary phone screening survey involving members of the public to identify research participants and a one-time, in-person focus group. Participants in the research program will be asked to evaluate design and consumer information improvements to the Government 5-Star Safety Ratings section of the Monroney label. NHTSA will use the findings from this research to support planned changes to the label requirements and future consumer communications on vehicle safety ratings and safety technology systems performance assessments to assist the public when making vehicle purchasing decisions.
