About 44 percent of U.S. adults say they expect to lose trust in government health recommendations over the next four years because of federal leadership changes, according to a poll published Tuesday from Harvard University and the de Beaumont Foundation
Researchers asked 3,343 adults online and on the phone about their reaction to having “new leaders in charge of federal public health agencies,” though the changes weren’t described and officials placed into high positions weren’t named.
The poll found that 28 percent of Americans say they’ll gain trust in public health recommendations because of the new leadership.
