Meetings of the Council on Graduate Medical Education, 103842-103843 [2024-30076]

Download as PDF 103842 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 244 / Thursday, December 19, 2024 / Notices FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Office of the Commissioner, and any other Centers will use this mechanism to test communications and social and behavioral methods about regulated drug products on a variety of subjects related to consumer, patient, or healthcare professional perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and use of drug and biological products and related materials. These subjects include social and behavioral research, decisionmaking processes, and communication and behavioral change strategies. Further, in addition to overseeing the safety of drug products when used according to approved drug labeling or as directed by a healthcare provider, CDER conducts studies on topics related to the safe and effective use of drug products, and emerging safety issues in areas such as: (1) nonmedical use of approved drug products; (2) use of unapproved and falsified (i.e., counterfeit, fake) drug products; (3) use of botanical substances (e.g., cannabis derived products); (4) controlled substance prescribing decisions; (5) bystander response to drug overdoses; and (6) potentially false or misleading information about drug products. Reliable data on these and related topics are a critical first step to understanding whether further studies or action is needed to protect public health. Because often data on these topics are not collected as part of routine healthcare delivery or via established Federal surveys, FDA requires the development and validation of novel instruments (i.e., interview and focus group guides, questionnaires) and approaches to gathering data on emerging safety issues the methods used to create and validate these instruments may include interviews, focus groups, small group discussions, pilot and test/ re-test survey launches, and external validation against benchmark surveys. In conducting research in these areas, FDA will need to employ the following validation methodology: (1) research to assess knowledge, perceptions, and experiences related to topics in the above-mentioned areas with specific target populations; (2) techniques to evaluate sampling and recruitment methods; and (3) evaluations of the validity and reliability of survey questionnaires in target populations. In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d), FDA published a 60-day notice for public comment on the proposed collection of information in the Federal Register of April 23, 2024 (89 FR 30381). Although one comment was received, it was not responsive to the four collection of information topics solicited and therefore will not be discussed in this document. Annually, FDA projects about 25 social and behavioral studies using the variety of test methods listed in this document. FDA is revising this burden to account for the number of studies we have received in the last 3 years and to better reflect the scope of the information collection. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Activity Interviews and Surveys ........................................ 1 There Dated: December 11, 2024.
