Brown-Johnson, C. G., Boeckman, L. M., White, A. H., Burbank, A. D., Paulson, S., & Beebe, L. A. (2018). Trust in health information sources: Survey analysis of variation by sociodemographic and tobacco use status in Oklahoma. JMIR public health and surveillance, 4(1), e6260.
The article examines trust in health information sources among Oklahomans of different sociodemographic backgrounds and tobacco use status. The authors used data from the 2011-2013 Oklahoma Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to examine trust in four health information sources: the government, the medical community, the news media, and the internet. Overall, trust in all four health information sources was higher among those with higher levels of education and income, and trust in the government was higher among those who were employed. Trust in the medical community was higher among non-smokers, while trust in the news media was higher among smokers. The authors suggest that efforts to increase trust in health information sources should focus on groups with lower levels of trust, such as smokers and those with lower levels of education and income.
