Abstract

Public participation has become an increasingly important activity within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Translating a concept such as public participation into an operational reality, however, presents a constant challenge to federal as well as state and local governments. FDA has developed a model Public Participation Program that provides a variety of ways for consumers to become involved in the Agency's decisionmaking process. The FDA program is policy oriented and strives to achieve five basic objectives. The ultimate goal of this program is to provide consumers with the opportunity to participate in and impact on the Agency's decisions concerning important health issues. Realizing this goal will enable the Agency to ensure that its policies and regulations are responsive to expressed consumer concerns.
