I'm reflecting on new data from the AAMC Center for Health Justice that I wanted to share with you! According to our latest brief, 84% of U.S. women say they trust the health care system overall. That's encouraging - but dig a little deeper and there's a more troubling story: Black women and younger generations (Gen Z and millennials) report significantly lower levels of trust, especially around reproductive health policies and standards.
Trust is the foundation of effective care. Without it, even the best clinical advances cannot achieve their full impact. If we want equitable health outcomes, we have to start by building equitable trust - across generations, communities, and lived experiences. I hope you'll take a few minutes to read the findings and consider what they might for your work: Women's Perspectives: Trust in the Reproductive Health Care System and Key Sources of Information
