FDA is aware of this and cited a <i>Prevention Magazine<\/i> 2011 survey that found that 49 percent of respondents who went online for prescription drug information reported seeking this information on a specific brand&#8217;s Web site.<\/p>\n<p>  As a consequence of this influence of the Internet, FDA is currently studying how consumers interact with drug.com websites. Specifically, according to an April, 2011, public notice, FDA has a number of questions surrounding how to achieve &#8220;fair balance&#8221; in online DTC promotion.   <\/p>\n<p> This article reviews the study &#8220;Examination of Online Direct-to-Consumer Prescription Drug Promotion&#8221; (FDA-2011-N-0230), which is designed to test different ways of presenting prescription drug risk and benefit information on branded drug Web sites.  <\/p>\n<p><b>Topics include (partial list)<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is FDA Out of Touch?<\/li>\n<li>Format &amp; Visibility of ISI<\/li>\n<li>Table: Recent Rx Drug Advertising Studies proposed by FDA<\/li>\n<li>What About Online Testimonials?<\/li>\n<li>To Link or Not To Link?<\/li>\n<li>Impact on Internet Guidance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Download the full text PDF file here:<br \/><a style=\"color: #993300;\" track=\"on\" shape=\"rect\" href=\"http:\/\/ec2-54-175-84-28.compute-1.amazonaws.com\/pharma-mkting.com\/news\/pmnews1310-article01.pdf\" linktype=\"link\">www.pharma-mkting.com\/news\/pmnews1310-article01.pdf<\/a>     FDA To Study DTC Promotion Directed at Adolescents        Focus is on Immediate Benefits vs. Deferred Risks<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Adolescent Brain\" src=\"http:\/\/ec2-54-175-84-28.compute-1.amazonaws.com\/pharma-mkting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Drugs-on-Teen-Brain-300x211.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"7\" vspace=\"5\"\/>&#8220;Adolescents are a unique audience for DTC drug marketing because their cognitive abilities are different than those of adults,&#8221; noted the FDA in an October, 2013, Federal Register notice to conduct an &#8220;Experimental Study of Direct-to-Consumer Promotion Directed at Adolescents&#8221; (FR # FDA-2013-N-1151). Yet some pharmaceutical companies are promoting powerful drugs to teens on the Web and on TV.<\/p>\n<p>  FDA&#8217;s proposed study will have adolescents and their parents view a DTC promotional campaign for either a fictitious Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) medication or a fictitious acne medication. The study will explore similarities and differences in perceptions for these matched pairs.

For example, a potential consumer and his or her spouse (e.g., marital or domestic partner) may view an ad together and discuss drug benefits, side effects, and risks.
