One in five adults who use AI for health cite difficulties accessing or affording health care as reasons they turned to these chatbots, including larger shares of younger and lower income users. These findings, as well as data from dozens of past KFF polls, are also available on KFF’s Health Information and Trust Polling dashboard.

The ruling comes as KFF polling finds that fewer than half of U.S. adults express confidence in federal agencies to make recommendations about the childhood vaccine schedule, with more adults saying recent changes will have a negative rather than positive impact on children’s health.
