ABSTRACT
COVID-19 emerged during an era of heightened attention to systemic racism and the spread of misinformation. This context may have impacted public trust in health information about chronic diseases like cancer. Here, we examine data from the 2018 and 2020 Health Information National Trends Survey (N = 7,369) to describe how trust in cancer information from government health agencies, doctors, family and friends, charitable organizations, and religious organizations changed after COVID-19 became a pandemic, and whether that change varied by race/ethnicity. Statistical methods included chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression modeling. Overall, the proportion of respondents who reported a high degree of trust in cancer information from doctors increased (73.65% vs. 77.34%, p = .04). Trends for trust in information from government health agencies and family and friends varied significantly by race/ethnicity, with substantial declines observed among non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) only. The odds of reporting a high degree of trust in cancer information from government health agencies and friends and family decreased by 53% (OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.24-0.93) and 73% (OR = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.09-0.82), respectively, among NHB, but were stable for other groups. Future studies should monitor whether recent declines in trust among NHB persist and unfavorably impact participation in preventive care.
