Popis: OBJECTIVE To compare three over-the-counter (OTC) Drug Facts panel versions for information processing optimization among college students. PARTICIPANTS University of Houston students (N = 210) participated in a cross-sectional survey from January to May 2010. METHODS A current FDA label was compared to two experimental labels developed using the theory of CHREST to test information processing by re-positioning the warning information within the Drug Facts panel. Congruency was defined as placing like information together. Information processing was evaluated using the OTC medication Label Evaluation Process Model (LEPM): label comprehension, ease-of-use, attitude toward the product, product evaluation, and purchase intention. RESULTS Experimental label with chunked congruent information (uses-directions-other information-warnings) was rated significantly higher than the current FDA label and had the best average scores among the LEPM information processing variables. CONCLUSION If replications uphold these findings, the FDA label design might be revised to improve information processing.
