Transparency and the Food and Drug Administration—A Quantitative Study

In Europe and North America, there is increasing political pressure being put on health regulatory agencies to become more transparent. To date, however, there has been little academic evaluation--let alone analysis--of these transparency initiatives from a risk communication perspective. This review examines whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System quarterly signal postings, put in place after the passage of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act 2007, will assist patients and doctors in their decision-making processes, on the basis of results of a quantitative Internet survey of 433 physicians and 1,000 American adults. The results indicate that there is significant disagreement between physicians and the public about when medical safety issues should be communicated in the first place, with physicians opposed to early signal postings while the public in general is in favor. In addition the findings show that if the public were to find their drugs listed on the Adverse Event Reporting System signals web postings, more than a quarter would stop taking their medicine. Going forward, the Food and Drug Administration needs to work to a greater degree with social scientists in developing scientific-based communication strategies, rather than developing transparency initiatives on the basis of stakeholder consultations.

“…Coglianese [5] distinguished between "fishbowl transparency" (everybody can see the government) and "reasoned transparency" (someone can know why and how the government works in that way). This distinction is not to undermine value of fishbowl transparency because such type of transparency is also needed for mass democracy and pluralism; rather, there is a caveat that the current initiative is obsessed with fishbowl transparency (open as much as possible to as many as possible!)…”

Government 3.0 in Korea

Korea puts forth Government 3.0 as a new paradigm of the government workings. President Park's strong pledge for public sector reform through the Government 3.0 drive envisions realizing a transparent, competent, and service-oriented government. Although value judgment on Government 3.0 is so premature yet, the Park administration sees as many critiques as eulogies for it. The Government 3.0 drive offers far more than what the technological potentials of Web 3.0 promise. What the drive suggests is not really novel. The details of Government 3.0 are similar to what Government 2.0 offers based on the interactive potentials of Web 2.0. The Government 3.0 drive is too normative to make practical results. Public agencies that lead the Government 3.0 drive may have confusion between its ends and means; as a result, goal displacement. Opening more information can impose more burdens on public employees' shoulder in warranting accuracy of information released and security of information sharing settings. Government 3.0 as political rhetoric may be ephemeral with political swings.
