Abstract: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) is seeking to conduct an experimental/quantitative study consisting of adult and youth (13 to 17 years old) participants to evaluate the best way to convey information about harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) in tobacco products and smoke (by brand and by quantity in each brand and subbrand) in a format that is understandable and not misleading to a layperson. The purpose of the research is to gain insight on consumer comprehension of and preferences regarding presentation of information about HPHCs in tobacco products and tobacco smoke, which will inform the Agency’s efforts to implement the mandatory publicly available list of HPHCs required by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco Control Act). Participants will view sample formats and will complete an online survey that will include questions regarding understanding and misleadingness of the HPHC information.
