Seal of Approval Breakthrough Group Brad Wible Saul Shiffman David Abrams Frank Vocci Kay Kahler Vose Amanda Graham
Purpose of Breakthrough Group • Develop an action plan for creating a “seal of approval” • Similar in concept to the “Good Housekeeping Seal”, our seal would help consumers identify cessation products and services which are efficacious.
OBJECTIVE 1: Determine best option for the actual “seal of approval” • Caution around approving websites • Forgery may be an issue • Approve categories of products and services rather than brands • Take care not to set inappropriate barriers to getting a seal • Environmental scan of existing seals
OBJECTIVE 2: From the consumer’s perspective, would a seal work? • Gather data on consumer behavior: • How do consumers react to a seal of approval? • Does it impact behavior • Contact CDC’s National Center for Health Marketing as a possible partner, resource, or sponsor in addressing these questions • Use marketing experts from Roundtable to develop concept to be tested.
Objective 3: From an organizational perspective, would a seal work? • Reach out to organizations that already use/review/credential seals of approval. • Review with other organizations the concept of what we propose – Mayo, AMA, Consumer Reports, Underwriters Lab, HON Foundation, Good Housekeeping • Understand legal liability
OBJECTIVE 4: Develop minimum standards for a product/service to earn the Seal of Approval • Approach an appropriate scientific body (Cochran Review, AHRQ) • Identify solid evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
OBJECTIVE 5: Promote use of Seal of Approval among consumers • Develop communications plan • Identify credible organizations and appropriate channels of communication • Develop effective messages
OBJECTIVE 6: Promote use the Seal of Approval among organizations • Contact pharma, etc., to promote the value of earning the Seal of Approval
Reaching Disparate Populations We will include these groups in the seal development process: – • Gathering data on consumer behavior/attitudes. • Will people put faith in the seal? • Of the organizations that could potentially promote the seal, which are seen as credible? • What channels would be most useful for communicating about the seal? • Cost vs. seal of approval in purchasing decisions
Key Opportunities for Innovation • Is the seal worth pursuing? • Would consumers find it valuable/act on it? • Is there a business model? • Is there a better way to convey the information? • If seal concept bears out, how do we promote it? • We need to have an evaluation plan in place • Impact: Our group’s activities will serve as a blueprint for action for the organization that takes this on. • Describe how these activities demonstrate consumer demand principles: User centered design.
