Objective analysis and comprehensive data on Americans' attitudes
about key health-care issues Over the years, hundreds of polls have
been conducted on health and health-care related topics, but until
now there has been no reference tool to help students, researchers,
and policy makers make sense of the data. American Public Opinion
and Health Care brings together findings from more than 200
national opinion surveys conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation,
Harvard University's School of Public Health, and other institutes
and polling and media organizations. After years of intensive data
gathering, the authors have compiled an in-depth, non-partisan look
at Americans' attitudes about a range of current and critical
health care issues. Twenty-one chapters combine unbiased survey
data and analysis. The concluding chapter discusses the
implications based on public opinion trends for the future of U.S.
health policy in each of the areas discussed in the preceding
chapters. Major topics addressed include: General attitudes, trust,
and priorities Current critical health-care issues, such as
quality, costs, the pharmaceutical industry, and reform efforts
Specific health topics, such as HIV/AIDS, abortion, stem-cell
research, end-of-life, obesity, infectious diseases, and pandemic
flu Views by race and gender, and disparities in health care and
coverage The importance of health care in recent elections and
implications for the future of health care and policy in the United
States Substantial trend data, covering the 1960s to the present,
will allow researchers to get a sense of how opinions have changed
over time. Chapters also look at how various groups in American
society differ in their views and how those views compare with the
citizens of other countries. This reference is highly recommended
for public libraries and academic libraries, including but not
limited to institutions with programs in medicine, public health,
and government.
