Background Information on ICCVAM,
NICEATM, and SACATM: ICCVAM is
an interagency committee composed of
representatives from 15 Federal
regulatory and research agencies that
require, use, generate, or disseminate
toxicological and safety testing
information. ICCVAM conducts
technical evaluations of new, revised,
and alternative safety testing methods
with regulatory applicability and
promotes the scientific validation and
regulatory acceptance of toxicological
and safety-testing methods that more
accurately assess the safety and hazards
of chemicals and products and that
reduce, refine (decrease or eliminate
pain and distress), or replace animal
use. The ICCVAM Authorization Act of
2000 (42 U.S.C. 285l–3) established
ICCVAM as a permanent interagency
committee of the NIEHS under
NICEATM. NICEATM administers
ICCVAM, provides scientific and
operational support for ICCVAM-related
activities, and conducts independent
validation studies to assess the
usefulness and limitations of new,
revised, and alternative test methods
and strategies. NICEATM and ICCVAM
work collaboratively to evaluate new
and improved test methods and
strategies applicable to the needs of U.S.
Federal agencies. NICEATM and
ICCVAM welcome the public
nomination of new, revised, and
alternative test methods and strategies
for validation studies and technical
evaluations. Additional information
about ICCVAM and NICEATM can be
found at https://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov.
SACATM was established in response
to the ICCVAM Authorization Act
[Section 285l–3(d)] and is composed of

scientists from the public and private
sectors. SACATM advises ICCVAM,
NICEATM, and the Director of the
NIEHS and NTP regarding statutorily
mandated duties of ICCVAM and
activities of NICEATM. SACATM
provides advice on priorities and
activities related to the development,
validation, scientific review, regulatory
acceptance, implementation, and
national and international
harmonization of new, revised, and
alternative toxicological test methods.

Proposed Project: SAMHSA Tobacco
Prevention, Cessation, and Behavioral
Health Message Testing—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) is conducting message
testing to inform the development and
implementation of a tobacco use
prevention and cessation campaign
aimed at youth with substance use and/
or mental health conditions.
The purpose of the project is to
inform messaging efforts, through focus
groups with youth and in-depth
interviews with health care providers, to
improve tobacco use prevention and
cessation efforts in populations with
mental health and substance use
concerns, particularly youth and
vulnerable populations. The focus
groups and interviews are an integral

part of the process to test messages and,
ultimately, develop effective campaign
materials and efficient implementation
plans.
SAMHSA will screen parents
(because focus group participants are
under the age of consent) and youth,
conduct focus groups with youth with
substance use and/or mental health
conditions, and interview health care
professionals who treat youth with these
conditions. The screen will be
administered by telephone to parents
first and, as eligible, to youth and will
take 10 minutes to complete for parents
and for youth. Questions will include a
mix of open-ended and closed-ended
responses and are intended to gather
information on previous diagnosis and
symptomology of mental health
conditions and availability to
participate in the focus group. The focus
groups with youth will be conducted in
person and will take up to 90 minutes.
Questions are primarily open-ended and
intended to gather information on the
reasons youth with substance use and/
or mental health conditions use tobacco,
the barriers and facilitators to tobacco
use prevention and cessation, the appeal
of various tobacco use prevention and
cessation messages, and the best
dissemination strategies and
communication channels for a future
campaign aimed at this specialized
group. The interviews with health care

take up to 45 minutes. Questions are
primarily open-ended and intended to
gather information to better understand
how various health care professionals
screen for and address tobacco use in
youth receiving care in their practice,
identify messages and materials aimed
at health care professionals to address
tobacco use prevention and cessation in
youth with substance use and/or mental
health conditions, determine the most

channels to disseminate this
information. All data collections are
