KFF Women’s Health Survey Explores How Women Navigate Contraceptive Information Joel Luther , Hagere Yilma , and Irving Washington

https://www.kff.org/health-information-trust/kff-womens-health-survey-explores-how-women-navigate-contraceptive-information/ The 2026 KFF Women’s Health Survey finds that health care providers remain the most trusted source of reliable health information for reproductive-age women. Large shares, though, also report using online sources and social media, and many report being exposed to false or misleading information that can lead to changes in contraceptive use, like starting, changing, or stopping a birth control method. And as AI tools become more embedded in health care and government, some institutions are developing new AI governance policies around their use, but most government AI policies do not address health, and those that do are largely not public. One Ohio health department’s new AI policy offers a rare look at a health-specific policy, explicitly addressing accuracy and public trust.
