凯泽家庭基金会/哈佛大学公共卫生学院的健康新闻指数，从1996年到2002年共进行了39项调查，共有42000多名受访者，衡量了美国人对新闻中主要健康新闻的关注程度，以及他们对这些新闻所涵盖的问题的理解程度。平均而言，十分之四的成年人密切关注健康新闻报道。公共报道最关注公共卫生报道，其次是卫生政策和疾病相关报道。虽然对健康新闻的了解各不相同，但密切关注健康新闻的人更有可能在有关这些新闻的知识问题上给出正确的答案。
The Kaiser Family Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health Health News Index, a series of 39 surveys with a total of over 42,000 respondents from 1996 through 2002, measures how closely Americans follow major health stories in the news and what they understand about the issues covered in those stories. On average, four in ten adults reported following health news stories closely. The public reports paying the most attention to stories about public health, followed by health policy and disease-related stories. While knowledge about health news varies, individuals who follow health news stories closely are significantly more likely to give the correct answer to knowledge questions about those stories.
