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.
