Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
539 - When submitting an APS for approval, can we submit the piece with the intent that it will be presented to HCPs in both a print format and a digital format as one submission? (Note - the content and layout of the piece will appear exactly the same in both modes of delivery).
-
Often digital tools contain elements which are not available in print format. For example, linkages to other APS, the ability to swipe/tap/scroll, and other functional elements. If the digital format contains any additional functions beyond the print version then the piece would require separate PAAB review.
If the same content/layout /flow is maintained in the digital and print version, and the APS context (e.g. branded vs. unbranded) and target audience remain unchanged, then the two pieces may be considered as part of a single submission. For example:
- any size changes must be directly proportional throughout the APS
- content on the page are not repositioned to optimize for landscape/portrait mode.
- no new functionality is added other than zoom-in and zoom-out. ( i.e. PDF version of the printed piece is presented on a tablet).
