Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Data on Tobacco Products and Communications

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is requesting approval of a new generic for collecting information through the use of qualitative methods for studies about tobacco products. FDA will employ qualitative research, including individual in-depth interviews (IDIs), small group discussions, and focus groups to explore knowledge and perceptions about tobacco-related topics with specific target audiences. FDA will only submit an individual generic collection for approval under this generic clearance if the individual collection meets the outlined conditions.
