Public and health care provider attitudes, understanding, and behaviors regarding emergency use authorizations: a scoping literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Under Sect. 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, when the US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary issues a declaration based on one of four types of determinations, FDA may authorize an unapproved product or unapproved uses of an approved product for emergency use. It is unclear how much the public and health care providers understand about emergency use authorizations and how that understanding influences perceptions or behavioral intentions. The current study aimed to explore consumer and health care provider perceptions of emergency use authorizations and how promotion of emergency use authorizations has been investigated in the literature.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review via PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL for original
