Abstract in brief

  • The study finds that a significant portion of the US population distrusts the healthcare system, with levels of distrust varying widely among respondents.
  • Higher distrust in the healthcare system is strongly linked to poorer self-reported health status, even after accounting for factors like demographics and access to care.
  • While distrust in individual primary physicians is relatively low and not connected to health status, overall system distrust remains a concern and warrants further research to understand its impact and causes.]
