Abstract:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is requesting approval for collecting information through the use of focus groups for studies involving all products regulated by FDA. This information will be used as a first step to explore concepts of interest and assist in the development of quantitative study proposals, complementing other important research efforts in the agency. This information may also be used to help develop communication messages and campaigns. Focus groups play an important role in gathering information because they allow for an in-depth understanding of individuals' attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and feelings. Focus group research serves the narrowly defined need for direct and informal public opinion on a specific topic.
