Our healthcare system is facing major challenges, including workforce shortages and rapid technological changes. This study aims to understand how public opinions on healthcare affordability and quality influence support for public health initiatives and how it is related to personal health attitudes and behavior. This is an attempt to understand health systems as a whole as healthcare, public health, and personal health management are disconnected. By surveying a diverse group of adults, we will explore how individual health behaviors, like health literacy, affect views on healthcare and public health. The findings will help policymakers and healthcare leaders improve healthcare and public health strategies, ensuring better health systems.

This project is part of Surveying the Social World research incubation initiative.
