Gallup, Rollins Survey Reveals Americans’ Public Health Priorities, Trust – Rollins School of Public Health

As the Trump administration begins to implement changes to national public health strategies, a new survey from Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health and Gallup provides insights into what public health issues Americans want leaders to prioritize and who they trust most for critical health information.
The Rollins-Gallup Public Health Priorities Survey asked 2,121 adults in the United States, ages 18 and older, their opinion on trending public health topics, including:
“Understanding the issues that matter to Americans is critical when determining where to center federal public health efforts. It is also important to understand the sources people trust most for their knowledge when making health-related decisions for themselves and their communities,” says Rollins Dean M. Daniele Fallin, PhD. “This survey provides government and public health leaders valuable insight into what Americans believe are the highest priorities moving forward and who they trust most to protect the health and safety of our people.”
“The survey reinforces that Americans, across demographics and party lines, mostly agree on the public health issues that touch their daily lives. Public health is at a crossroads, but the survey is clear—Americans think we have more work to do. Prioritizing these issues in the new administration could be unifying,” says Stephen Patrick, MD, chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management.
