Abstract: This ICR collects information from health care practitioners and patients. FDA seeks to evaluate the clarity, timeliness, and impact of Safety Communications by surveying a sample of recipients. The information to be collected will address how clearly Safety Communications for reducing risks are explained, the timeliness of the information, and whether the reader has taken any action to eliminate or reduce risk as a result of the information in the Safety Communication. The information will be used to shape FDA's editorial policy for such communications. Understanding how audiences view these publications will aid the Agency in deciding what changes should be considered in their content and format, and method of dissemination.
