A new poll
shows that most American have high levels of trust in physicians,
nurses, and pharmacists. The poll, from the University of Chicago Harris
School of Public Policy and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public
Affairs Research, found that at least 7 in 10 Americans believe
doctors, nurses, and pharmacists will do the right thing for them and
their families most of the time.
The high levels of trust for these health care professionals included Democrats and Republicans; men and women; and white, Black, and Hispanic Americans.
“Public
health officials should really look to doctors, nurses, and pharmacists
to be the megaphone to deliver the message of the importance of getting
vaccinated,” said Michelle Strollo, a senior vice president in NORC’s
Health Research Group.
The survey, which was conducted in June 2021, involved more than 1,000 adults using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel.
