Combating medical misinformation and rebuilding trust in the USA

Mutual trust is the foundation of the physician–patient relationship. However, during
the past 50 years, public trust of medical professionals in the USA has declined from
73% in 1966 to 34% in 2012, with trust in physicians and hospitals declining from
71·5% in 2020 to 40·1% in 2024.1,2 Factors contributing to this decline could include
access to overwhelming amounts of health information, increased social and political
divide, and poor health literacy.3,4
